Hi,<br><br>I'm new to GHC (and Haskell). <br>I have tried to install the newest available binary distribution of GHC for AIX which is GHC version 6.8.2.<br>Unfortunately, it didn't work properly. Following the trivial installation steps as described<br>
in INSTALL file I executed the following commands:<br>
<br> 1) ./configure --prefix=/home/nik/local<br> 2) gmake install<br><br>But I got the following error message:<br>------------------------------<div id=":ys" class="ii gt">--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
