I thank people who advised me on my recent request about installing GHC snapshot and Happy. The result of the whole investigation is as follows. 1. Installing ghc-6.9.20080907-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 (from binary) leads to ./configure --prefix=... make install ------------- ... installPackage: Saved package config file seems to be corrupt. Try re-running the 'configure' command. ----------------------------------------------- 2. To `make' a ghc-6.9 snapshot from source by GHC, I need to first install Happy and Alex. 3. I discovered that the simplest way to install Happy and Alex on my Debian Linux, i386 is to command apt-get install happy apt-get install alex -- because they are in the Debian Linux distributive. Now, `making' of ghc-6.9.. is in progress, I hope, it will succeed. Regards, ----------------- Serge Mechveliani mechvel@botik.ru
