Hi Mike, Sigbjorn, Simon, Thanks so much for the pointers. Sigbjorn's suggestion to check out the patch was what finally fixed my problem. BTW, ghci still does work for me. I get this lovely message: F:\stuff>ghci -package win32 hello.lhs C:\ghc-5.02\bin\ghc.exe: file `P?B' does not exist The ? is acutally a spade symbol in my command window. Anyway, I hope that stops the stupid complaints from my direction for a while. And now I know what and where I should be looking for the bug list. SourceForge has just enough of a bug list to fool me into thinking that's where I should be looking. Thanks Again, John Heron Sigbjorn Finne wrote:

I just installed ghc 5.02 on my NT 4.0 machine, and I'm wondering if the import chasing is broken for ghc-5.02 on Windows NT? Or perhaps there is yet another thing I don't understand about Haskell's environment or modules? I got the following complaints when trying to compile Sigborn Finne's Win32 example hello.lhs (http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~sof/hello.lhs):
F:\stuff>ghc -o hello hello.lhs
hello.lhs:14: failed to load interface for `Win32': Could not find interface file for `Win32'

Hi,
have a look at the top of that file - it tells you what options you need to feed GHC to compile the example (well, the options it suggests are deprecated by The Powers That Be; you ought to use "-package" instead of "-syslib").
Simpler yet, try running it via ghci:
c:\src\haskell> ghci -package win32 hello.lhs
and then evaluate 'main'.
hth --sigbjorn
btw, notice that ghc-5.02 currently has got a problem or two with the Win32 library -- see
