error building HEAD


I am trying to build ghc from the latest src from darcs (pulled today) on
ubuntu hardy x86. configure and make *seem* to run fine (no errors reported)
but make install gives a long stream of errors. Here's some of the output.
What's wrong? Thanks!

Jim

"make install" is probably broken at the moment. You should be able to
use it in-place, though (run compiler/stage2/ghc-inplace).

Thanks

Thanks Ian. In fact, the stable branch will be suitable for my needs
so I'll stick to that and I don't suppose I'll find this there? If I
do I'll use your suggestion.

I'm not sure what your needs are, but note that the stable branch is
identical to 6.8.3 and no more releases will be made from it, so you
might prefer to just use 6.8.3.

The stable branch doesn't have the "make install" problems, no.

Thanks

Playing with type families, so it has to be 6.9. I will try with a 6.9
snapshot.

Thanks,
