Hi Nicolas!
I've tried to compile parfib with versions: 4.04, 4.06, 3.02, 0.29, under
Solaris and/or Linux.
With version 4.04 and 4.06, I never managed to get to that stage. I managed
to compile 'Main.lhs' to 'Main.o', but couldn't like: it seems that
all library for GPH are missing in those versions. This is the sequence of
messages that I received (compiling with ghc-4.04 under Solaris):
======================================================================
(1) first go
> make
ghc -c -parallel -fvia-C -fglasgow-exts -cpp Main.lhs -o Main.o
ghc: unrecognised option: -fstack-check
Main.lhs:3: Could not find valid interface file `Prelude'
Main.lhs:5: Could not find valid interface file `Parallel'
Compilation had errors
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `Main.o'

(2) with -i option (a file 'Main.o' was generated)

ghc: unrecognised option: -fstack-check
ghc: module version changed to 1; reason: no old .hi file
Usage: For basic information, try the `-help' option.

(3) 'make' again
osaka: make
ghc -parallel -fvia-C -fglasgow-exts -cpp -o parfib *.o
ghc: unrecognised option: -fstack-check
ld: fatal: library -lHSconcurrent_mp: not found

ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to parfib
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `parfib'
========================================================================
I couldn't get version 0.29 running, and I was informed by Alvaro J Rebon
that his package for 3.10 definitely doesn't work with most recent versions of
glibc. He promissed a few weeks ago that he would try to get me a package
with GHC+GPH running for RedHat Linux 6.1. I remember asking him whether GPH
was some experimental feature of GHC (not completely tested.) He assured me
that GPH is OK and he is using it himself. So... I decided to wait for
a while.

I finally managed to avoid the error about missing Prelude and
Parallel interface including the appropriate directories with -i directive.
However, there are new errors in the link stage relating
undefined references to `_fxstat' and `__setjmp'.
Did you get the same results?
And one final question. Do the developers say to you that there's _no_ GHC
version that properly includes GPH?
