16 Mar 2003


      I'm getting the following error message trying to compile the latest version
of GHC on Mac OS 10.2.1, using GHC 5.04.2 installed from binaries:

../../ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace -H16m -O -Iinclude -package-name unix -O -Rghc-timing  -p\
ackage base -split-objs    -c System/Sendfile.hs -o System/Sendfile.o  -ohi System/Sendf\
ile.hi

Sendfile.hsc:94:

        Expected type: IO ()
        Inferred type: Fd -> Fd -> Int -> Int -> IO ()
    In a right-hand side of function `sendfile': squirt
