Help to get over this stumbling block would be very much appreciated.
From the screen dump of your command 'darcs pull ...':
Thorkil-Naurs-Computer:~/tn/test/darcs thorkilnaur$ cd ghc
Thorkil-Naurs-Computer:~/tn/test/darcs/ghc thorkilnaur$ /usr/local/
bin/darcs
pull http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc
...

It would appear that your computer had a temporary problem connecting
to the darcs server--this is the standard output you would get in a
web browser but darcs can't understand the default "Object not
found!" page. I suspect if you tried the same command again a little
later it would work.
Two further notes:
(1) use the darcs-all script (it's a lot easier than grabbing
everything and it descends into the library/ directories to grab any
sources you want there):
.../ghc thorkilnaur$ ./darcs-all pull -a
This is the normal 'darcs pull' command, the '-a' option tells darcs
to apply the patches as soon as you receive them.
(2) for further information on darcs, see the darcs manual
(especially if you are planning to make any changes to your 'branch'
and want to use darcs to help with your revisions): http://
www.darcs.net/manual
Best regards,
Pete
