Not quite the beta snapshot, but from HEAD about the same time you tagged and branched, I got the following positive results on OpenBSD/i386: 1) Build it up to stage2 and make install from ghc-6.6: ok 2) The same again with the result of 1): ok 3) Full build including all extralibs with the result of 2): ok I'll restart the whole process with what's in the ghc-6.10 branch now (hopefully that's ok for you, since some fixes have been already committed to the branch), and I'll also try to run the testsuite after step 3). BTW: I had some problems running the testsuite some weeks ago, because some autoconf'd stuff was missing. When building from the repository (*not* from the source tarballs), are there any additional steps beyond sh boot ./configure --prefix=... gmake install required? Ciao, Kili ps: I've also an amd64 (aka x86_64) at work and will run the tests on it next week. Wether I'll be able to fix the ghci problem in time: no idea.
