Hi,
I'm new to GHC (and Haskell).
I have tried to install the newest available binary distribution of GHC for AIX which is GHC version 6.8.2.
Unfortunately, it didn't work properly. Following the trivial installation steps as described
in INSTALL file I executed the following commands:
1) ./configure --prefix=/home/nik/local
2) gmake install
But I got the following error message:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Am I missing something?
Any help is very much appreciated!

PS: I have originally posted to Haskell-cafe mailing list that was obviousely not
the right place for my question!!
