Failed to load interface for `Prelude'

[Thorkil Naur]

Hello,

A long shot, but perhaps worth looking into: The reaction that you report here 
seems similar to the one reported in trac #1195 Build error on MacOSX (Intel) 
10.4.8 for HEAD from 2007-03-05 when compiling with ghc-6.6: 

  http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1195

That ticket reports two cases where some error was apparently ignored, leading 
to a sequence of error reports like the one you quote. But the first error, 
which is probably the interesting one, is buried somewhere earlier in the 
output and needs to be found "manually", somehow.

If you find your problem related to #1195, please attach any additional 
details that may be relevant to that ticket.

Best regards
Thorkil
