Thanks! I installed 6.8.2 binary and that successfully compiled 6.8.3 source
with gcc 4.1.1. (I am still not sure why a direct 6.8.3. binary installation
did not work for me, but now I think everything is good). Thanks very much
again!
Di, Yu

The error is coming from your installed 6.4.2, and I strongly suspect that
it is incompatible with the gcc version you have installed. You could try
downgrading gcc, but your best bet is to just install a recent GHC binary
distribution.
