The particular problem that you are encountering seems to be some complicated interaction between Win98 and the GHC build system. We can't reproduce it, not having a Win98 box, and supporting building from source on Win98 isn't a major goal. It would have been great if the new RC fixed it, but I'd have been surprised.
Pls. see my post in cvs list.
The RC was trying to test something more modest, namely that the 6.2.1rc binary release works correctly on Win98 systems, even when
* the compiler itself is installed in a directory with spaces
It works.
* temporary files are stored in a directory with spaces
It works.
* the compiler is invoked in a directory with spaces
It works. Sincerely, Gour -- Gour gour@mail.inet.hr Registered Linux User #278493
