I just installed Haskell 2010.2.0.0 on Windows XP Pro SP3. When I run winGHCI, I briefly get a displayed window, immediately followed by a "black screen". I have to restart my computer to get rid of it. I have been advised that this is a bug and wonder if it can be fixed. David Webster
Hi David Maybe WinGHCi (the gui) it is failing to start GHCi (the interpreter)? Though then going to a black screen of death is very bad. On my system I can run WinGHCi from HP2010.2.0.0 - but it runs an old version of GHCi. This makes me suspect it is using the /path/ environment variable to find GHCi. What happens when you open a command prompt and type / ghci / ? You should get something like this: C:\Documents and Settings\me> ghci GHCi, version 6.12.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done. Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done. Loading package base ... linking ... done. Loading package ffi-1.0 ... linking ... done. Prelude> Best wishes Stephen
