(pre)compiled Haskell compiler for True64/Alpha
Does anyone have a haskell compiler for True64 (formerly known as OSF/1) on Alpha hardware? I'm currently unable to compile the first bootstrap compiler. Any hint which compiler should I start with? I'll send detailed error reports only if I do not succeed in the next hours.

I think the last ghc I ran on OSF/1 alpha was hmm, 5.04.2? You might be able to get a newer one working though. The 6.x series is fairly easy to bootstrap (there's alpha/debian for example), so if you run into problems, let glasgow-haskell-users@ know. -- Don

Yep. I found that, because it was heavily described. There were quite a number of bugs with 64bit code. This are the same problems I have with nhc or hugs (sizeof (void*) != sizeof int). Hugs simply crashes while nhc does not compile (yet).

Thank you. I do not have Linux, so a Debian packet does not help that much.
