You could unpack the Debian package of 6.8.2: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/powerpc/ghc6/download

Thanks! Indeed, I was able to use this to build 6.8.3.

Also, when building yourself, an unregisterised build is more likely to work correctly on PPC/Linux: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Unregisterised

Yeah, I tried that, too, but ran into an error (and had neither the time, the energy, nor the knowledge to investigate). Don't matter now.

glasgow-haskell-users is a better list for this sort of question.

Yeah, I discovered that after I sent. Thanks, Devin
