There's a hidden gotcha in the rpm spec file (the file which gives instructions for building) - it only does a stage1 build, whereas ghci needs a stage2 build. This is OK as long as it's understood by rpm builders that they need to build binary rpms using a previous install of 5.04.3. We could probably trick up the spec file to be clever and trigger a stage2 build if it's necessary.
For version 6.0, let's have the spec file do a stage2 build by default. It's much easier these days, you only need one source tree and just saying "make" at the top-level will cause a stage2 build to happen. Cheers, Simon
