Just for completeness - I saw a few mails about missing files in the
binary dist. causing problems when installing on sparc. I have had the
same problem and as one of the files I had problems with was not mentioned
I thought I'd summarize:
Some perl scripts are not created as they should:
in lib:
hscpp
mkdependHS
in bin:
ghc-4.08.1
stat2resid (** not mentioned before on the bug-list **)
The symptom of trouble is that all these scripts end up to contain only
the 5 (or so) lines with path-defintions.
The cause seems to be that the names of these files in the distribution
are without the .prl suffix.
(It might be worth checking if there are any other .prl files with similar
problems, these were the ones I could come up with.)
