I'm having trouble installing ghc 6.6. On ubuntu, virtual server (user mode linux).
Something seems to be killing the process, no idea why.
Anyone seen this?

Is it repeatable? i.e. If you run 'make' again, do you get the same error at the same place? If you answer 'no', swap out all your RAM and try again. Unexplained sig11's are the classic first symptom of failing memory, soon followed by filesystem corruption and data loss. I wish I'd paid attention when I had my first weird crash. :( (there are other possibilities, but they usually won't be fixed by replacing the memory and usually will be repeatable.)
