I just tried to build 6.10.1 from the source tarball (
http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.10.1/ghc-6.10.1-src.tar.bz2) (plus extralibs)
on Ubuntu 8.10, building with ghc-6.11.  I got the following error:

    Configuring ghc-bin-6.10.1...

Is this problem known?  Does it come from building 6.10.1 with 6.11?

Thanks,  - Conal
