Another newbie question. To recap, running 6.6.1 on Vista. Fixed the other problem--lexical error, apparently a BOM added by Notepad--by getting Xemacs. Now when I type 'ghc -o hello hello.hs' at the prompt I get /gcc: installation problem, cannot exec 'as': no such file ro directory/. Any idea what's going on here or how to fix? Thanks.

This is a bug in version 6.6.1, fixed in 6.8.1 (out shortly). See: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1110 Cheers, Simon
