First, I tried download the latest releases of ghc, hmake and hat. However, hat refused to compile because it found the ghc version too low (although, in fact, it is probably to new).
The 2.02 release of Hat is quite old now and does not compile with ghc-6.x. The CVS version works with all versions of ghc from 5.04.3 upwards. We do plan to make a new release from CVS at some point, but, as always, there are many other changes we would like to incorporate before that happens. In the meantime, compiling from CVS is probably your best route to a working Hat.

OK, it looks like we are missing a ghc package dependency on the original Haskell'98 libraries. Try adding the arguments -package haskell98 to the HMAKEFLAGS at the top of src/hattools/Makefile. Regards, Malcolm
