It looks like HC bootstrapping is enabled in this tree; it shouldn't be. Just use a completely fresh source tree, don't configure with --enable-hc-boot, and don't unpack any HC files into it.

If I use a fresh source tree without HCs then I need the unregistered build to compile, right? Unfortunately the debian build didn't get me very far since it stops with an internal compiler error (see previous posts).

There seems to be some confusion. The instructions I gave were for Bennett, who said he had a working unregisterised build. If you haven't got that far yet, then these instructions don't apply.

So I followed the instructions of the Porting Guide and compiled a ghc-6.2.1-x86_64_unknown_linux-hc.tar.gz in 32bit mode.

In 64bit mode: ./distrib/hc-build --enable-hc-boot-unregisterised which stops with the error message I mentioned in my last post.

Don S. committed a fix for this to the main tree. It looks like it hasn't been merged yet... could you try the attached patch to libraries/base/Makefile, and let me now if it helps? Cheers, Simon
