I am trying to install ghc and hdirect on windows. But I have failed miserably. Initially I was able to install and run ghc, but after failing to run hdirect examples i did some changes to environment settings, and now none of them work. I also tried reinstalling both. 1. If I do mount c: / then: ghc does not compile and finishes without any word. I have /usr/bin/bash.exe and /usr/bin/sh.exe. 2. If I do not mount c: / then: administrator@CF-POSTGRAD12 /cygdrive/c/ghc/ghc-4.08.1/bin $ls ghc ghc-4.08.1 hp2ps.exe perl.exe stat2resid administrator@CF-POSTGRAD12 /cygdrive/c/ghc/ghc-4.08.1/bin $ghc bash: ./ghc: No such file or directory In any case it does not run, Is there any other combinations :-( 1. I have copied the perl.exe that comes with ghc to /user/bin 2. I am using the right version of mingw. 3. I have set SHELL = /usr/bin/bash 4. I have scanned most of the mails in ths list. Please help. Thanx, Saswat
