Hi,
I have unpacked ghc-7.8.1-i386-unknown-linux-deb7.tar.xz to ~/data/Work/ghc-7.8.1-i386.
Now I have the following:
awson@awsonvirt:~/data/Work/ghc-7.8.1-i386$ ./configure --prefix=/home/awson/data/ghc-7.8.1-i386 checking for path to top of build tree... utils/ghc-pwd/dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-pwd-bindist: line 3: /home/awson/data/Work/ghc-7.8.1-i386/utils/ghc-pwd/dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-pwd: No such file or directory configure: error: cannot determine current directory
ghc-pwd is definitely there but it does not start it seems. Perhaps, the system lacks some shared libs or something.
There absolutely no problems with 64-bit ghc.
Yes, you get the error like that when you try to execute different ABI or unsuppored ABI binary. Do that with ARM binary on x86 and you will get the same error for example. What you have forgotten is to install i386 libs on your purely amd64 xubuntu probably... Cheers, Karel
