i am using win2k too. i've forwarded your message to the person with the problem.
but we already know that the problem is not restricted to unlit. he cannot compile a simple "hello world" in a plain .hs file (see my first email). is there any way to raise this as a bug so that someone involved with ghc finds a suitable machine and solves the problem? it's not just my client that's having problems - someone else here has reported something similar. sorry if i seem a little frayed, but it's not cool to send software to someone only to find that they can't compile because ghc doesn't work on a platform it is advertised to support. i know that ghc is a largely voluntary effort, but they've still got more resources than me... andrew Derek Elkins said: > On Mon, 26 Jan 2004 00:12:56 -0300 (CLST) > "andrew cooke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> the output is enclosed. the problem seems to be temporary files. >> what would cause that (i've just emailed him to check that the TEMP >> directory exists)? > >> *** Literate pre-processor >> C:\GHC\GHC-6.2\unlit.exe -h Demo.lhs Demo.lhs >> C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\ghc-1160737.lpp >> >> Failed: C:\GHC\GHC-6.2\unlit.exe -h Demo.lhs Demo.lhs >> C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\ghc-1160737.lpprawSystem: does not exist (No such file >> or directory)*** Deleting temp files >> Deleting: C:/WINDOWS/TEMP/ghc-1160737.lpp >> Warning: deleting non-existent C:/WINDOWS/TEMP/ghc-1160737.lpp > > The "rawSystem" part is the function GHC uses to execute external > programs, see System.Cmd.rawSystem.
