Haskell: Qualified name in binding position?

Question

I have a file `test.hs` with the following code: ``` Mp1.gcd a =a ``` When I compile it, there is this error: "Qualified name in binding position:Mp1.gcd Failed, modules loaded:none" I use Mp1.gcd because the official API has "gcd". Is this problem about my naming conventions? How can I fix it?

Accepted Answer

You can define it without qualifying it at all:

```
gcd a = {- ... -}
```

Then qualify it in your export list:

```
module MyModule (MyModule.gcd) where
```

Alternatively, remove the possibility for conflict altogether by excluding `Prelude`'s `gcd`:

```
import Prelude hiding (gcd)
```
