Thank you very much for the reply. I am new in Haskell and not aware of such a thing as an mtl library at all... Now that I installed it, the build was successful. I hope I will get along with Haskell, and the community as well : ) Thanks again. Yichao On 11/29/06, Neil Mitchell wrote:

Hi

What version of GHC do you have? If its an old version you might need to upgrade, if its a newer version (6.6) you might need to install the mtl library (monad transformer library)

If you have any doubt please send the output from "ghc --version" and I'm sure we can figure it out.

Thanks

Neil
