[Haskell-beginners] Error when starting GHCI (Arie van Wingerden)

Sat Oct 12 09:50:47 UTC 2013

Hi Howard,

thanks for your help.
I guess this is a nasty problem which may take quit some time to solve.
Since I only wish to learn a new functional language, I'll try my hands on
F# for now.
Perhaps later on this problem is solved and I will retry starting with
Haskell.
For now i wish you luck and say goodbye.
