Install happy from http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/happy-1.17
Note that happy 1.17 needs Cabal-1.2 and 1.16 needs Cabal-1.1.6.
Ah, that would be the problem then . . . . i'm upgrading from GHC 6.4.2, and so have Cabal 1.1.4. Perhaps the relevant configure script should check to see not only if happy is installed, but whether it's a recent enough version?
Alternatively, don't build the extralibs at the same time as ghc and install just the ones you need individually later. They're all available on hackage.
*nod* That looks like my best option, at least until i install Mandriva 2008, which will presumably include more recent versions of GHC etc. . . . . Thanks for your help! Alexis.
