Hi, I just checked a fresh copy of ghc + hslibs out of CVS, and tried doing a vanilla build. It fell over doing "make boot" in hslibs. Here are the last few make messages: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ===fptools== Finished making `all' in includes utils driver docs compiler rts ... PWD = /local/scratch-4/njn25/ws2/build2/ghc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ make[1]: Leaving directory `/local/scratch-4/njn25/ws2/build2/ghc' make[1]: Entering directory `/local/scratch-4/njn25/ws2/build2/hslibs' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ===fptools== Recursively making `boot' in lang concurrent posix util data text net hssource tools ...

Thanks. -- Nick Nethercote njn25@cam.ac.uk
