Is there a binary package for GHC 6.4.1 on Solaris x86 (Sun OS 5.9)?

Building from source fails thus:

There isn't a binary for 6.4.1 that I know of. You should be able to follow the porting instructions in the Building Guide to get an unregisterised version going (get the version from CVS, there were some recent modifications).

My department uses 6.4.1 on Solaris 9 and it works nicely. They built it from source using version 6.2.2 (for which there are binaries I believe). I don't think it's necessary to do a fresh port.

Ah good. Any chance of building a binary dist I can put up? Cheers, Simon
