I am having trouble installing the package in a non-standard place. After downloading and unpacking I did:
./configure --prefix=/home/matt creating cache ./config.cache checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.9 ...
... updating cache ./config.cache creating ./config.status creating Makefile
make show-install-setup Install setup... bindir = /home/matt/bin
Configuration done, ready to either 'make install' or 'make in-place'. (see README and INSTALL files for more info.) **************************************************** So this looks ok; and is confirmed by: libdir = /home/matt/lib/ghc-6.0 (libdir = /home/matt/lib/ghc-6.0) datadir = /home/matt/share/ghc-6.0 (datadir = /home/matt/share/ghc-6.0)
make install >&! install.log

ok, a problem with the documentation but I think this is the last thing make install does so it shouldn't affect the binaries.
ls -l `which ghc` lrwxrwxrwx 1 matt vt 7 Jun 3 16:54 /home/matt/bin/ghc -> ghc-6.0*
ok, looks reasonable, should work:
ghc --version /home/matt/bin/ghc: /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.0/ghc-6.0: not found
more /home/matt/bin/ghc #! /bin/sh bindir='/home/matt/bin'
oops, who said anything about /usr/local? libdir='/home/matt/lib/ghc-6.0' libexecdir='/home/matt/lib/ghc-6.0' datadir='/home/matt/share/ghc-6.0' SED='/usr/local/bin/sed' DEFAULT_TMPDIR='/tmp' #!/bin/sh GHCBIN="/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.0/ghc-6.0"; TOPDIROPT="-B/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.0"; # Mini-driver for GHC exec $GHCBIN $TOPDIROPT ${1+"$@"} That doesn't look right at all.
