You're the second person to report this one, so it's unlikely to be a
problem with your setup. One thing you both have in common is Solaris 2.5,
the binary dist was built on 2.6 so that's one potential source of problems.
Could you try running nm on /usr/local/lib/ghc-4.04/libHS.a, and having a
look at the section for PrelNumExtra__468.o?
Cheers,
