Thanks! It is a very helpful hint..
I didnot find the profiling library for ghc-6.8.2, so I installed ghc661-prof, but the yum ( i use fedora 8) installed the latest ghc-6.8.2, so they end up in different directories..
now it is working.
Cheers,

Hi! the ghc compiler keeps complaing " can't find module 'Char', perhaps you haven't installed the profiling libraries for package haskell98?". but actually I did install it, and i checked with ghc -v , it is right there: "wired-in package haskell98 mapped to haskell98-1.0.1.0", and Char.hi is right there in the folder haskell98-1.0.1.0.. can't figure out why it happened.. anyone please ?
Thanks! Liang
On second reading, ghc asks for profiling libraries for haskell98, that would mean you should look for Char.p_hi. If there are no *.p_hi files in the folder, that library wasn't built for profiling and you should do that then, runghc ./Setup.hs configure -p runghc ./Setup.hs build runghc ./Setup.hs haddock runghc ./Setup.hs install Hope this helps, Daniel --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
