Hi Ben, Chris and Others,

Thanks for your replies and suggestions. All I want to do is invert 
(well solve actually) a tridiagonal matrix so upgrading ghc from the 
version that comes with the platform seems a bit overkill. I think I 
will go with Chris' suggestion for now and maybe upgrade ghc (and REPA) 
when I am feeling braver.

Dominic.
