First I tried the binary version ghc-6.10.1-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 and I very quickly get this error:

This probably means your libc is too old for the bindist to work. Presumably running utils/pwd/pwd forwardslash gives a SIGFPE or similar?
Next I tried building the source version ghc-6.10.1-src.tar.bz2 using ghc 6.6 that is already installed. configure works but make eventually dies with:
... Configuring ghc-6.10.1... cabal-bin: At least the following dependencies are missing: Cabal -any,
This is the output of a cabal-bin command, right? Appending -v to the commandline might shed some light on what's going wrong. Or if that doesn't help, try "-v 3". Thanks Ian
