network gave me a hard time without the Haskell Platform as well.
Hi Thomas Network installed for me without a hitch via MinGW for 6.12.1 (via the old skool process of runhaskell Setup.hs ...). MinGW becomes all but essential once you start installing libraries that are bindings to C libraries - unfortunately it can be hard to tell if a library is a binding or depends on a binding. Also some Haskell libraries do use C but only rely on the standard C libraries - as GHC ships with a gcc executable from MinGW usually these libs will install transparently. Best wishes Stephen
