The old installer was missing some DLLs; to correct this and improve Happy's stability (while also reducing the size of the installer) I've rebuilt Happy statically and uploaded a new installer. -- http://sc3d.org/rrt/ L'art des vers est de transformer en beautés les faiblesses (Aragon)

As another example, compare the propaganda version of quicksort in Haskell with a more realistic tail recursive one. I remember thinking "wow!" when I first saw the Gentle Introduction version of quicksort, then "hang on...that's not quicksort!". Whatever happened to in-place update (one of

I think this should be written in big red letters in the installation instructions at http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~sof/ghc-win32.html This page is rather out of date, which is why it's not linked to any more. The installation instructions are in the user manual, and directly linked to from

I spoke too soon. I can only compile from C:\ not from any subdirectory, i.e. not just failure from another drive. This I can't reproduce. Failure to compile from another drive, I can. A fix is to edit C:/ghc/ghc-4.08/bin/ghc in the following way: change the definition of $TMPDIR near the
