I have just built and installed Hugs 6.6 on AMD 64-bit OpenBSD 3.9.
It seems to work ok, but I just discovered that the function
primMinInt mentioned on page 13 of _The Haskell Road to Logic, Maths
and Programming_ is not recognized.  I also do not get 'Prelude>'
as the prompt when I invoke hugs. I get 'Hugs>' instead.  How do I
get primMinInt to work?

Thanks,

Dave Feustel

Hmm, there's a few weird things in that bug report: Hugs 6.6? Do you
mean GHC 6.6 or Hugs Sep2006?

Anyway, primMinInt is just:

    instance Bounded Int where
        minBound = primMinInt
        maxBound = primMaxInt

So you can get it as:

    Hugs.Base> minBound :: Int
    -2147483648
