What does config.guess return on your system?

i686-pc-linux-gnu


That's strange, configure is supposed to emit the error only if
config.guess fails.

maeder@davinci -> ./config.guess
./config.guess: line 844: dummy-5901.c: Keine Berechtigung
./config.guess: line 1: dummy-5901.c: Keine Berechtigung
./config.guess: line 1105: dummy-5901.c: Keine Berechtigung
./config.guess: unable to guess system type

download the most up to date version of the config scripts from

could this output be the source of my problem? (Meanwhile the owner of the ghc tree changed so I cannot really reproduce the situation.)
