Undefined symbols on new install of ghc 6.2.2

One of my colleagues just installed ghc 6.2.2 on their Windows machine.
GHC compiles fine but ghc --make fails at the linking stage with a bunch
of undefined symbols that ought to have been part of the ghc install
like:

./MakeUtils.o(.text+0x43): In function `_stginit_MakeUtils_':
: undefined reference to `_stginit_IO_'
./MakeUtils.o(.text+0x4d): In function `_stginit_MakeUtils_':
: undefined reference to `_stginit_Prelude_'
./MakeUtils.o(.text+0x5c): In function `r1pU_srt':
: undefined reference to `GHCziBase_zdfEqZMZN_closure'

(see attached file for complete list of undefined symbols).

We've checked that the lib files exist and confirmed that he installed
ghc in the normal place (see message at end of this message).
ghc-6.2.2 works just fine on my machine.

Does this ring any bells for anyone?

Assuming you mean that these directories should have the files you name
(not the output of ghc -v), then, yes, they are present.

Plenty of disc space.

I tried this but learnt nothing new (see attached). Is it possible that
I need to set some environment variables other than PATH (e.g.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH)?
