Hi Jeff,
I jsut answered it on StackOverflow. Since it might be interesting to readers of this mailing list, I include some part of it here.
The permission error is due to the fact that not all possible intermediate representations of a Curry program are precompiled in the Ubuntu package. Unfortunately, the "default rule translator" of CurryPP requires one of these intermediate representations.
The Ubuntu/Debian package is intended only for using the kernel of Curry. For other extensions and more advanced tools, I recommend to install PAKCS manually, e.g., the current release from https://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/%7Epakcs/download.html If you already have Ubuntu, a simple `make` should be sufficient.
Regards,
Michael

I've almost got currypp working! It's installed, but reports "pakcs-frontend: /usr/lib/pakcs/lib/.curry/Prelude.uacy: openFile: permission denied (Permission denied) ERROR: i/o error: ERROR: user error: Illegal source program". I put more details on StackOverflow[1].
Thank you both!

Hi Jeff, maybe at some tome in the future, default rules, set functions etc will become part of the syntax of Curry and, thus, processed by the standard parser. In the current "development" state, they are processed and implemented by the Curry preprocessor. This provides more flexibility for us (to play with different implementations) but allows also unintended uses. As a compromise, you might use CurryCheck, a property-based test tool which also perform some static code tests. For instance, running CurryCheck on your program generates the the message Analyzing module 'Test'... ============================================================================== STATIC ERRORS IN PROGRAMS: 'Test' uses default rules or det. operations but not the preprocessor! Hint: insert line: {-# OPTIONS_CYMAKE -F --pgmF=currypp #-} ============================================================================== Hence, you see what is missing... CurryCheck can easily be installed by Curry's package manager: > cypm update && cypm install currycheck Best regards, Michael On 11/19/18 4:49 AM, Jeffrey Brown wrote: > Awesome!
