Comment (by jpmasseria):

 After I manually deleted `libraries/dph` I now get:

 {{{
 configure: error: in `/home/johnma/ghc/libraries/terminfo':
 configure: error: curses headers could not be found, so this package
 cannot be built
 See `config.log' for more details
 make[1]: *** [libraries/terminfo/dist-install/package-data.mk] Error 1
 make: *** [all] Error 2

 }}}

 Should I just start over and re-clone from git?  (I'm going to try that).
