Re: Help with GHC on win nt, doesnt do anything??

[Michael V. Nikolaev]

Hi,

It's only advice. May be, you didn't say "make install"? In general, you should have 
link "ghc" in /usr/local/bin to script "ghc-4.03" in this directory. The last is perl 
script. In any case, check to see which perl you have installed with command "type 
perl" under bash prompt. You should have perl that has been built for cygwin32 and it 
should be properly installed (e.g., in /usr/local/bin and/or /usr/bin). Active State 
perl will not work. Otherwise, you should check your environment settings with the 
command "cygcheck -h -v -s -r". You should check that all cygwin staff is at 
appropriate place.

Regards,
Michael
