When I try to ./configure, I get this error: aragon: .../i386-unknown-linux/ghc-6.8.3
./configure --prefix=/projects/ctl/franksen/usr checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu Which we'll further canonicalise into: i386-unknown-linux checking for path to top of build tree... configure: error: cannot determine current directory
Looking into configure, I see that it calls 'utils/pwd/pwd forwardslash' which seems to be the culprit, since aragon: .../i386-unknown-linux/ghc-6.8.3 > utils/pwd/pwd forwardslash [1] 28489 floating point exception utils/pwd/pwd forwardslash Cheers Ben

This happens when your system (libc?) is too old to run the binaries in the bindist. If you want to use newer versions of GHC on this system then I'm afraid you'll have to compile them yourself. Thanks Ian

Thanks. Indeed, we are on debian stable, here. At home I have the latest kubuntu and there the binary dist works just fine. Cheers Ben
