I've built ghc previously and I assumed to keep it up to date I just did darcs pull
followed by make but I got errors and according to the rebuilding instructions http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Rebuilding I shouldn't have done that. I therefore followed the instructions but got the following error. By the way darcs-pull all seemed to require a lot of manual intervention. Is there a way of getting the latest patches automatically and building overnight without intervention?
