I tryed to compile nhc from cvs and it compiles part of it but stops at this: make: *** No rule to make target `src/prelude/Array/*.hc', needed by `targets/ix86-FreeBSD/prelude-gcc'. Stop. PS: The system is FreeBSD-3.5 and the compiler is gcc-3.0.

You cannot build the CVS version of nhc98 using just a C compiler. The reason is that the CVS repository does not hold files that are automatically generated, such as the .hc boot-files. If you want to build nhc98 from CVS, then you must install a working Haskell compiler first. Any of ghc, hbc, or nhc98 will suffice. For instance, you could download a nhc98-1.06 source package from the web page, build it with a C compiler, then use the 1.06 version to build the CVS version. Regards, Malcolm
