Re: GHC compilation error (re-post).

Hi Ben and Garrett. I am logged in as the administrator (full access rights). This problem is quite confusing since I recall using a older version of the GHC (standalone) without any incidents. I have no idea how to solve this particular problem. Thanks, ~Caitlin On Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 11:05 AM, Ben Gamari wrote:

Hi all.

I wrote the following test program:

bar x = x * x

on a Win32 (SP3) machine using the Haskell Platform and GHC-7.6.1 (standalone) and I have noticed the same frustrating errors. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Are you certain you have write permission for C:\? I'm not terribly with how Windows handles file permissions, but the error seems pretty unambiguous as to its cause. It's a little strange to be placing files like this in the root directory of a volume, anyways. Perhaps try this in a directory which you certainly have adequate permissions in (the Windows equivalent of $HOME perhaps. Wikipedia seems to think this is %UserProfile%).

Cheers,
