[mailto:haskell-cafe-bounces@haskell.org] On Behalf Of Vivian McPhail

I just setup and installed hs-plugins from darcs on WinXP using ghc-6.6 and MSYS.

The hs-plugin test suite all passes.

Can you send me something that generates your error and I'll have a look at it.

Well, if I haven't misunderstood what you're asking for, there is the original test case at the root of this mail thread (copied below). This produces the same error message that Conal gets: Main: c:/ghc/ghc-6.6/HSbase.o: unknown symbol `_free' Main: user error (Dynamic loader returned: user error (resolvedObjs failed.))
