Hmmmm then this looks like a bug in our distribution.
Which version of mercury are you using 0.10.1 or 0.11?

The work around is to add an Mmakefile and place in it the line
GRADE=hlc.gc

Then you need to do
$ mmake realclean
$ mmake hello_world.depend
$ mmake hello_world

Let us know how it goes.

I don't think so, Fergus and I have had a discussion off-line and there
are problems with attempting to use network drives that I have
encountered and I don't think this would help you here.
