OK, I'm building ghc-5.04.3 freshly from source, but when running
./configure initially, I forgot to use the --prefix= option to set the
final installation location. Now, after fourteen hours of building,
I use `make install' and discover the mistake. :-( How can I recover
the situation?
I tried re-running ./configure with the intended --prefix option.
No joy. I tried deleting config.cache first, then re-running
configure, and then `make install'. In all cases, the installed
ghc driver script still points to the wrong place (/usr/local/...)
If I edit the installed driver script to point to the right location,
I get errors later in the installation that the pointed-to binary
doesn't exist. And indeed it doesn't, because the scripts are
installed *before* the binaries they point to, but the installation
process itself seems to call GHC to build something. In this case,
the error is:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
==fptools== make install -wr;

So, I appear to be stuck in catch-22. Any ideas?

Malcolm
