GHC compilation error (re-post).

[Caitlin]

Hi Ben and Garrett.

I am logged in as the administrator (full access rights). This problem is
quite confusing since I recall using a older version of the GHC
(standalone) without any incidents. I have no idea how to solve this
particular problem.

Thanks,

~Caitlin
