Public bug reported: The hello world like in the lhs2tex manual fails. Here is the lhs file:
------------------------------- \documentclass{article} %include polycode.fmt \begin{document} First we make this an executable > module Main where And then the hello world. > main = putStrLn "Hello, World!\n" end{document} ------------------------------- This leads to this error: lhs2TeX: user error (File `polycode.fmt' not found in search path The "polycode.fmt" can be exchange by "lhs2TeX.fmt". Then lhs2TeX compiles a tex file. That seems to have errors too: ------------------------------- $ pdflatex helloworld.tex This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) entering extended mode (./helloworld.tex LaTeX2e <2003/12/01> Babel <v3.8d> and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german, ngerman, b ahasa, basque, bulgarian, catalan, croatian, czech, danish, dutch, esperanto, e stonian, finnish, greek, icelandic, irish, italian, latin, magyar, norsk, polis h, portuges, romanian, russian, serbian, slovak, slovene, spanish, swedish, tur kish, ukrainian, nohyphenation, loaded.
