When I downloaded and unpacked the latest GHC snapshot of the STABLE branch for Windows (ghc-6.4.2.20060421-i386-unknown-mingw32.tar.gz), I got the following error trying to start GHCi:

Loading package base-1.0 ... linking ... : c:/ghc/GHC-64~1.2/HSbase1.o: unknown symbol `_sqrtf' : unable to load package `base-1.0'

Sigbjorn's candidate installer doesn't have this problem:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6-4-2-20060421.msi

It's a bug in 6.4.2, sadly.

Cheers, Simon
