I'm trying to install GHC from the darcs repository for the first
time, so I'm hoping someone here can tell me if I'm doing something
wrong before I bother cvs-ghc.
I'm currently running ghc 6.8.2 on Debian x86 Linux. Following the
instructions on the wiki, I put the following in a file and ran it:
#!/bin/bash
darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc
cd ghc
chmod +x darcs-all
./darcs-all get
sh boot
./configure --prefix=$HOME/ghc-HEAD
make
make install
but during the "make install" step I get the error
../../compiler/stage1/ghc-inplace -no-user-package-conf -o ghc-pkg.bin -H32m -O -cpp -Wall -fno-warn-name-shadowing -fno-warn-unused-matches -package Cabal -Rghc-timing -package unix -package containers Main.o Version.o CRT_noglob.o
