I am trying to install ghc-6.4 on netbsd20. I read through the install instructions, however they say you need a working copy of ghc already.

I'd probably look here first:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/lang/ghc/README.html

I expect that package should work for you; even if it doesn't, you should be able to use the work done there as a good starting point.

Thanks with that binary I was able to build the program that I needed, though I still wasn't able to build ghc from the source.

Anything we can help with? Cheers, Simon
