Thanks Stephen--that was related to my original question, about using HP with Cygwin. The answer seems to be No!--you must use MSYS (for real work). Or am I just being very slow? (I probably am--sorry!)

Hi Chris I don't know what's going on there, are you using the Windows CLI and then working with GHC's mingw? GHC (and thus the Haskell Platform) does ship with a minimal version of MinGW - includes files, static libraries, gcc, linker etc. - as GHC needs these pieces in its tool chain, and it means you can use GHC with the regular Windows CLI. For 'real work' though, you want to be using a full MSYS / MinGW installation and the MSYS Bash shell.
