Hi,

On Windows, taking the filepath library:

Building source dist for filepath-1.0...
copy System\FilePath.hs to dist\src\filepath-1.0\.\System\FilePath.hs
copy System\FilePath\Posix.hs to dist\src\filepath-1.0\.\System\FilePath\Posix.h
s
copy System\FilePath\Windows.hs to dist\src\filepath-1.0\.\System\FilePath\Windo
ws.hs
copy System\FilePath\Internal.hs to dist\src\filepath-1.0\System\FilePath\Intern
al.hs
copy Setup.hs to dist\src\filepath-1.0\Setup.hs
copy filepath.cabal to dist\src\filepath-1.0\filepath.cabal
D:\bin\tar.exe -C dist\src -czf dist\filepath-1.0.tar.gz filepath-1.0
D:\bin\tar.exe: Cannot use compressed or remote archives
D:\bin\tar.exe: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Setup: source tarball creation failed!  Tar exited with status 2

Using Cabal from about 2 minutes ago.

Any idea what is wrong?

Thanks

Neil
