In order to save everybody on Haskell Cafe a lot of time, I "bootstrapped" my ghc from Ubuntu ghc 6.8.2 using source from <a href="http://www.haskell.org">http://www.haskell.org</a>.<br><br>Regards, Vasili<br><br>

Hi Duncan,<br><br> In response to your below, I am running "runhaskell Setup.hs configure -v3 --prefix=$HOME". Is v3 the current highest Cabal highest verbosity level? FYI basically I am running ghc that I just built a couple of days ago from the ghc source distribution.<br>

Actually we also stash the configuration in ./dist/setup-config so that<br>
gets created at configure time.<br>
<br>
Galchin's problem is that something goes wrong during the configure and<br>
so nothing gets created in dist. From the log it looks like ghc or ld<br>
are failing during one of the early tests we do when configuring ghc.<br>
<br>
To make debugging this kind of thing a bit less mysterious in future<br>
Cabal now logs in greater detail what happens when it calls external<br>
programs (when invoked at the highest verbosity level).<br>
