I am having trouble installing Hugs 98 on macOS Sierra. I have followed the instructions here (http://www.willamette.edu/~fruehr/154/HugsMacInstall.html) which tell me to install macports then run sudo port install hugs98. Unfortunately, this results in the following error message :

Error: Processing of port hugs98 failed

Does anyone know if installing HUGS on macOS sierra is going to be possible?
Thanks!

    Are you required to use Hugs for something? If not, you should use GHC. GHC updates regularly, while the latest release of Hugs is 10 years old. – David Young Dec 09 '16 at 01:39

    If you're working with course material designed around Hugs, you may want to use GHC version 7.8. Changes since then could confuse you somewhat. – dfeuer Dec 09 '16 at 08:03

Leaving aside other respondents' caveats about the wisdom of using hugs at all, you can get a version of Hugs that works splendidly on the current (10.12.3) version of Sierra here.

The instructions work as stated, and building should take between 5 and 10 minutes.
