Can't seem to figure how to compile
Running ghc 6.6.1 On Windows Vista I get this error when I run: ghc Main.hs gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory On this code: module Main where main = do putStrLn "Please enter your name: " name <- getLine putStrLn ("Hello, " ++ name ++ ", how are you?") What is my problem?

`as' is the assembler that gcc uses. Check your gcc. Can you even compile C programs successfully? -- -- Matthew Danish -- user: mrd domain: cmu.edu -- OpenPGP public key: C24B6010 on keyring.debian.org
It is the default gcc with ghc.
ghci works just fine which invokes ghc --interactive.
But this command does work:
ghc -e Main.main Main.hs
But there is no executable.

Did you follow these instructions when you installed GHC? http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Windows (there are some special procedures here for Vista users).

This is a known problem on Vista. The GHC 6.8.1 snapshot should work for you, e.g. http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.8.0.20071020-i386-unknown-... Please try it out and let us know if that helps. FYI, the bug we fixed is this: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1110 Cheers, Simon
Yup, that fixed the problem. Thanks for your help. :)
