You probably don't want to install the registerised build; just use it to build a fresh tree:

$ ./configure --with-ghc=/unregisterised-build/ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace $ make

Thanks, I'll give it another go. It'll be a few days before I can get back with results (each build seems to take about a day, I've only got 128MB of RAM). I _think_ I tried that before and ended up getting an error, that was why I was hoping to just install the unregistered build. But I'll take another swing at it and report the results.

Thanks again,
