Dear Simon and Simon,
probably the worst design decision in the last five years was to detach
Happy from the compiler distribution, at least for me :-(. When I tried
to install ghc-3.00 I immediately fell on my face: Happy is required
... So I tried to install Happy from the binary distribution. However
making install does not work
./configure --prefix=$HOME/FP/ghc
...
**************************************************
Configuration done, ready to either 'make install'
or 'make in-place'.
(see README and INSTALL files for more info.)

/bin/sh: syntax error at line 1: `;' unexpected

Perhaps I spend too many hours in front of the screen, but I'm stuck.
What would be real helpful is a list of commands that one has to type
in to build ghc from source (including (un)happy).
Many thanks in advance, Ralf
