Hi all. My prior whines about version-numbered binaries have been answered, I see: thanks, esp. to Simon M. However, I have yet another in this series of moans... When I do a gnumake install from the source tree, it flumps, with: ln -s ghc-3.01 /usr/local/bin/ghc ln: cannot create /usr/local/bin/ghc: File exists gnumake[2]: *** [install] Error 2 gnumake[1]: *** [install] Error 2 gnumake: *** [install] Error 2 Removing the old link fixes this behaviour, but ideally it should be automatic, I'd think. And yes, I know I said I'd do it the "proper" way this time, installing from a binary-dist build, but alas, it turns out that needs autoconf, which isn't on the machine I'm building on. So I've reverted to type. ;-) Slainte, Alex.
