I have gotten ghc 6.7 to compile, but not with extra libs. I'm on linux
x86, ubuntu.
Can someone suggest a download date that worked for them, or how to fix
one or more of the problems described below?
When I build from source (this is for august 2, unknown linux, as conal
spoke well of it :) but I have tried with several other dates in august
with the same result)
I get
Linux linuxpt 2.6.15-23-386 #1 PREEMPT Tue May 23 13:49:40 UTC 2006 i686
GNU/Linux
The programs included with the Ubuntu system are free software;
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: line 1433: cd:
utils/pwd:
No such file or directory
./configure: line 1438: -v0: command not found
./configure: line 1441: utils/pwd/pwd: No such file or directory
configure: error: cannot determine current directory
when I try unzip src and extralibs I get
(aug 15... tail of a large out file after >1.5 hours of configure; make >
out.txt)

very weird error because when I execute /usr/local/bin/HsColour -version
it doesn't fail but outputs 1.6.
Can somebody suggest a download date known to compile (with extralibs) for
ubuntu? Or suggest a fix?
By the way I have also tried
darcs get http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc
but this dies about halfway through (in the patch 10000s ) with libcurl
error 18 or libcurl error 404 depending on the phase of the moon.
I'm currently trying a build from darcs checkout with get --partial. If
this is the preferred way of doing a checkout due to "crapping out
halfway" issues maybe it should be said in the readme. (to be honest I
forget what the difference between a partial darcs get and a complete get
is.)
Much obliged,
thomas.

I installed ghc-6.7.20070810-i386-unknown-mingw32.exe. Though it runs, I don't know how to get other packages installed, including Cabal. "ghc-pkg list" tells me that I have only {ghc-6.7.20070810}, rts-1.0.
Any suggestions?
Upgrade GHC; Cabal should be installed but wasn't due to a bug in that snapshot.
