It would appear that you don't have the parallel build of the compiler installed
properly.
GHC is built with one or more `ways'. The normal `way' is the default, but there are
also `p' for profiling, `t' for ticky-ticky, and ... `mp' for parallel. When
compiling with a `way' other than the normal one, GHC looks for Foo.mp_hi, Foo.mp_o,
and so on instead of Foo.hi, Foo.o.
So there should a file Prelude.mp_hi in one of the directories GHC is looking through.
GHC is complaining that it's not there.
HTH.
