HI THERE, JOHANNES, what a surprise, how are you doing? Remember teaching me the 7-ring 1-count? Might've been at Erlangen, possibly Augsburg, even Berlin, but it was quite a while ago. :-) On Thu, Sep 04, 2008 at 11:20:35PM +0200, Johannes Waldmann wrote:
Hi, Alan -
./configure fails with "checking for path to top of build tree... configure: error: cannot determine current directory".
Yeah, I got the exact same error yesterday when trying to install a ghc-6.8.3 binary dist on some older machine.
Ah, so it's not just me.
Well, since I had 6.8.2 working there, I just used it to compile 6.8.3 from sources, which worked without any problems.
I guess the 6.8.3 binary does not work because it expects a newer version of libc or whatever. I can provide the binaries I built if you need them.
Hey, thanks, yes please! Whether by email, or you giving me an ftp address, whatever is most convenient. That would be most appreciated.
Best regards, J.W.
