You're not doing anything wrong, but I think I am: the version of gcc
packaged with GHC won't work on Win'98; this is a well-known problem,
but I think I've failed to fix it in the distribution. I award myself
forty lashes, and assuming I can still work the computer afterwards,
I'll fix it and upload a new InstallShield shortly.

Your best bet is probably to wait for this.
