The 4.08.2 binary package can be installed anywhere; I tried it myself before we released it. For a start, as previously suggested ./configure make in-place should get you a working system without the need to copy stuff to any new installation directory. You do need 'make' to be GNU make and not the Solaris one, but that's about all. Can you send me a log of the failed installation attempt(s)? This ought to work. You really don't want to get into compiling GHC from source if you can possibly avoid it.

Re: How to install ghc/happy on Sparc from source?
Yep, thanks to those who answered, I must have messed up sth in my first try... Maybe because I was installing ghc, happy and some other program (for which I need ghc) more or less in parallel, and I might have missed sth in that process. I though had installed the binaries with the --prefix parameter during configure, and when calling the local ghc binary in my homedir, I got some error message about /usr/local with some library... Tried it again and now it works. I must have done sth wrong last time! Sorry and thanks :-) Best regards, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steinermailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Lehrstuhl f.
