On machines that don't support snprintf (eg Solaris), runhugs
tends to produce useless error messages.
Try testing using something like this:
> hugs HelloWorld
[ banner deleted ]
Prelude> Main.main
If your program really is called HelloWorld, you'll get an error
message about empty literate files and will want to run with:
> hugs -l HelloWorld
Once you have that stuff figured out, you can switch to using runhugs:
> runhugs -l HelloWorld
and you can even put something like this on the first line of
your program:
#!/usr/local/bin/runhugs -l -h30k
and then:
chmod 755 HelloWorld
./HelloWorld
(the heap size is optional - but will make things smaller/faster)
