ghci reports: ghc-5.04.2: not built for interactive use
If you want to have ghci you have to compile the source code with the same version of ghc that you are trying to generate, in your case ghc-5.04.2...
Thank's very much Andre. Now that I look for it, I did find this in the FAQ. (I looked at the building guide but missed the FAQ!) I'm still confused however. I though that with the whole two (three?) stage bootstraping process you get a version of ghc built with itself anyway, no? Maybe the ghc gurus could enlighten us. :-) If it requires an extra time consuming step, could it be a ./configure option? --enable-ghci Duncan
