Network on Win98: failed - socket - no error ??

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

| Thanks, that was quick. Have updated my libraries tree, but
| don't build ghc from source (no space left here..). How do I
| build libraries/network with my installed ghc-5.04 (?? have
| there been any socket-relevant fixes since then, checking
| with 5.04.2 [which resets my filetype settings for .hs].. no)?

A word of caution here.  Parts of the libraries, especially base/GHC/*,
may be GHC-version-specific.  We do not put lots of ifdefs in the
library sources to cope with different GHC versions, because they are
expected to be built with the GHC from the same tree.  

So, it may work, but it may not.
