You can store it anywhere, as long as GHC is in your search path. > When I tried to compile it as instucted on the webpage ( $ ghc -o > hello hello.hs), I got this error message. > > <interactive>: 1:0: parse error on input '$' > > please what am I doing wrong. Several things :-) You don't usually compile from within GHCi, but rather from a system command prompt. And: the dollar sign is the typical Unix command prompt, you're not supposed to type it in. Generally, you're better off using the make option to ghc, type "ghc --make hello.hs" instead. -k _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
