Arie,

The only difference I have with your output on my computer is a line after the "Using binary package database..." line:

    Using binary package database: C:\Users\hgolden\AppData\Roaming\ghc\i386-mingw32-7.6.3\package.conf.d\package.cache

That package cache contains hs-dotnet-0.4.0.

I have no idea if this is why you are getting the error message at the end ("Loading package base ... ").

Did you get any error messages when you installed the Haskell Platform?

Hi,
following Howards guidance I tried to start GHCI with the -v option and get:

Hi Arie,

My guess is that you don't have a necessary library in your path. Here are the Haskell libraries I have in my path (change as necessary for your setup):

C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2013.2.0.0\lib\extralibs\bin
C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2013.2.0.0\bin
C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2013.2.0.0\mingw\bin

HTH,

Howard

Hi,

today I downloaded the Haskell platform for 32 bits Windows
(HaskellPlatform-2013.2.0.0-setup.exe) and installed it.

The first time I started GHCI all worked perfectly.

When I closed GHCI and later tried to start it again I constantly get
however:
C:\Users\Arie>ghci
GHCi, version 7.6.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done.
Loading package base ... ghc.exe: : Kan opgegeven module niet vinden.
<command line>: can't load .so/.DLL for:  (addDLL: could not load DLL)
WHERE Kan opgegeven module niet vinden MEANS Can't find the specified module

Any ideas?

Kind regards,
   Arie
