Hi, I've just been informed that unpacking the binary (i386) solaris distribution using bunzip2 and tar: bunzip2 -c ghc-6.10.4-i386-unknown-solaris2.tar.bz2 | tar xvf - does not work properly! Use instead: gtar jxvf ghc-6.10.4-i386-unknown-solaris2.tar.bz2 File names longer than a hundred characters are cut off, i.e. ghc-6.10.4/libraries/dph/dph-prim-seq/dist/build/Data/Array/Parallel/Unlifted/Sequential/Flat/UArr.hi is wrongly extracted as: ghc-6.10.4/libraries/dph/dph-prim-seq/dist/build/Data/Array/Parallel/Unlifted/Sequential/Flat/UArr.h leading to an installation failure: installPackage: Error: Could not find module: Data.Array.Parallel.Unlifted.Sequential.Flat.UArr with any suffix: ["hi"] gmake[1]: *** [install.library.dph/dph-prim-seq] Error 1 Ian, could you place a note about using gtar for unpacking solaris binary-dists? Cheers Christian
