6.12.1rc1: non-Latin filenames in GHCi
I've noticed that when I load in GHCi a file that has a non-latin name, although it gets loaded, its name appears garbled in the message after the loading: Prelude :load πρόχειρον.hs [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( ÏÏÎ ¿ÌÏειÏον.hs, interpreted ) Ok, modules loaded: Main. *Main Is this expected, or something is wrong with my setup? It's a rather insignificant issue, but I thought to ask about it. I'm using GHC 6.12.1rc1 on Mac OS X 10.6.1.

Hi. The link to the mailing list on the GHC page is not correct.

Re: 6.12.1rc1: non-Latin filenames in GHCi
Thanks Don for your reply. I may have overlooked something in the blog post you gave, but my understanding is that it talks about the user's input/output to and from GHCi and the file system. The user IO with non-Latin chars seems to work fine in GHC 6.12.1; e.g.: *Main putStrLn πρόχειρον.hs πρόχειρον.hs *Main getLine = putStrLn πρόχειρον.hs πρόχειρον.hs *Main It's only when GHCi attempts to print a diagnostic message containing a filename with non-Latin chars that the garbling occurs: *Main :load πρόχειρον.hs [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( ÏÏÎ ¿ÌÏειÏον.hs, interpreted ) ÏÏοÌÏειÏον.hs:1:23: Not in scope: type constructor or class `Boo' Failed, modules loaded: none. Prelude It would be nice if the error messages at least showed correctly the filename. Maybe this has something to do with Haskeline?

For the Linux binary distributions, the linux-n tarballs are recommended over the linux tarballs. Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release!

ghc search paths (like CPATH for gcc)
Hello, is there a mechanism for ghc similar to setting the CPATH variable for gcc? I'd like ghc to look in the given list of paths every time it compiles something, without me having to retype the flags. For ghci there is .ghci, but it gets ignored when I run ghc.
