I'm trying to install ghc 6.10.1 on a machine with the crux distro. libc version 2.3.6 gcc 4.0.3 linux version 2.6.15.6 First I tried the binary version ghc-6.10.1-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 and I very quickly get this error: $ ./configure checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu Which we'll further canonicalise into: i386-unknown-linux checking for path to top of build tree... configure: error: cannot determine current directory $ 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, base <3, filepath >=1 && <1.2, haskell98 -any, hpc -any, template-haskell -any, unix -any make[2]: *** [boot.stage.2] Error 1 Any ideas? Thanks, Bit

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:

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
Hi there! I have the same problem. The machine is running Ubuntu 7.04 x86. ghc is v6.6 as provided by Ubuntu -- the Ubuntu version number is 6.6-3.
