I've installed ghc-6.3.20050202-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 only to find out that gcc-3.4.1 seems to be hard-wired into this ghc:
ghc-6.3.20050202: could not execute: gcc-3.4.1
Why is this so. Do I need to install from sources? My current gcc version is:
gcc (GCC) 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux)
This is because we currently configure the nightly builds to use gcc-3.4.1, and unfortunately that gets baked into the GHC binary. You can compile from source to get around this. The STABLE snapshots don't have this problem. Cheers, Simon

In http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ there are only ghc-6.2.x snapshots, right? What version is today's entry? ghc--i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 04-Feb-2005 07:10 21M ghc--src.tar.bz2 04-Feb-2005 07:07 46 (Maybe these can be properly named or removed) Christian

Compiling from sources (in two hours) worked without problems. Thanks Christian
