Hi, I'm trying to build 6.8.3 on Linux PowerPC, based on an old binary of 6.4 (latest build for this arch that I found). stage1 seems to have built, but from there, building libraries almost immediately fails:
make -C libraries all make[1]: Entering directory `/home/twifkak/arch/ghc/src/ghc-6.8.3/libraries' rm -f -f stamp/configure.library.*.base base/unbuildable ( cd base && setup/Setup configure \ --enable-library-profiling --enable-split-objs \ --prefix=/NONEXISTANT \ --bindir=/NONEXISTANT \ --libdir=/NONEXISTANT \ --libsubdir='$pkgid' \ --libexecdir=/NONEXISTANT \ --datadir=/NONEXISTANT \ --docdir=/NONEXISTANT \ --htmldir=/NONEXISTANT \ --interfacedir=/NONEXISTANT \ --with-compiler=../../compiler/stage1/ghc-inplace \ --with-hc-pkg=../../utils/ghc-pkg/ghc-pkg-inplace \ --with-hsc2hs=../../utils/hsc2hs/hsc2hs-inplace \ --with-ld=/usr/bin/ld \ --haddock-options="--use-contents=../index.html \ --use-index=../doc-index.html" \ --configure-option='--prefix=/usr' --configure-option='CFLAGS=-mtune=powerpc -O2 -pipe -mpowerpc-gfxopt' \ --configure-option=--with-cc=gcc ) \ && touch stamp/configure.library.build-profiling-splitting.base || touch base/unbuildable Configuring base-3.0.2.0...

(This particular transcript is from an unclean build, but the same error occurred on a freshly untarred ghc.) The subsequent errors seems to stem from the root one of being unable to configure:
[twifkak@ponyride base]$ setup/Setup configure -v3 Configuring base-3.0.2.0... Creating dist (and its parents) /home/twifkak/usr/bin/ghc --numeric-version Warning: cannot determine version of /home/twifkak/usr/bin/ghc : "" Setup: ghc version >=6.2 is required but the version of /home/twifkak/usr/bin/ghc could not be determined.

[twifkak@ponyride base]$ ../../compiler/stage1/ghc-inplace --numeric-version 6.8.3
What's going wrong? How do I fix it? Is there a better mailing list to ask? Thanks, Devin
