That is most mysterious. It was removed on 25 May.
Where did you get your download from? You are using CVS aren't you?

| When I first posted we were using version 4.08 compiled in
| 4.04 because we
| didn't have a recent enough version of gcc. We have since
| downloaded a
| new version of gcc, and re-compiled 4.08 in 4.08. We also made a new
| version of libGHC.a, and things seem to be running smoothly now.
|
| We just checked (see below) and we are are definitely using
| version 4.08
| compiled in 4.08, however, we do have a ThinAir file
| (ghc/compiler/prelude/ThinAir.lhs). Is it possible that we
| did something
| wrong when downloading, or compiling?
|
| Thank you for all of your help,
| Kate
