I suppose I have to set some options somehow. I suspect this is a combination of factors. In src/interpreter/ix86-CYGWIN_NT-4.0/LocalConfig.hs you will probably find the setting defaultHc = builtby which, for convenience, I should really have set to defaultHc = "nhc98" If it is the former, and if builtby = "gcc", then unfortunately the interpreter will not know where to look for Prelude files. The fix is either to change to builtby = "nhc98" or just defaultHc ="nhc98". You should also check that nhcKnown = True and nhc98dir = "/something/sensible/include/nhc98" If these two names are not already bound to sensible values, then it may be that I need to rethink the automatic configuration of "hi" some more.
