Initial Comment:
Hello,

I just installed ghc on Mandrake Linux 10, from the file 
glasgow-haskell-bugs at haskell.org.

I was getting an error when I ran ghc and ghci:

Hsc static flags: -static

--------------

I&#039;ve been able to solve it with

cd /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.2/imports/System

ln -s io IO

cd /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.2/imports/

ln -s ghc GHC

The submitter was unpacking the GHC binary tarball onto a 
FAT32 filesystem.  Consequently, problems with case 
sensitivity cropped up.  This might have been due to bugs or 
quirks in the FAT32 implementation; in any case there doesn't 
seem to be anything we can do.
