Your gcc is not broken, but a bit old (for a new ghc-6.8.2)
Which we'll further canonicalise into: i386-unknown-linux checking for path to top of build tree... pwd: timer_create: Operation not supported configure: error: cannot determine current directory
This timer_create error is due to an old glibc. If it comes from the installation of http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.8.2/ghc-6.8.2-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 than you have to install an older version (i.e. ghc-6.4.2) http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_642.html#x86linux If you (or what or however installs your software) installed my version http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.8.2/maeder/ghc-6.8.2-i386-unknown-linux.ta... (or your version was created differently) than try the above ghc-6.8.2 version first. Usually ghc is installed under /usr/local/ so the binary script is /usr/local/bin/ghc. If no idea why your ghc is /usr/bin/ghc. It's either a link or it was installed using --prefix=/usr. (debian users may know) Cheers Christian
