I'm trying to diagnose an error message and I wonder if
anything immediately jumps out at the experts. here is the
shell interaction:

55> chat_client:signup().
** exited: {badarg,{chat_client,signup,[]}} **

=ERROR REPORT==== 12-Jun-1999::23:29:29 ===
!!! Error in process <0.144.0> with exit value:
{badarg,{chat_client,signup,[]}}

I assume this means that chat_client doesn't contain a zero
argument function called signup. But chat_client.erl contains this:


signup() ->
chat_server ! {sign_up, name(), self()},
receive {ok, Pid} ->
io:format("signup succeeded"),
chat_client_dispatch(name())
after 5 ->
failed
end.

so where is this bad match occurring?


thanks,
-Lyn
