 [[Building/Preparation/Linux]] gives a list of optional packages required
 for building documentation. Having installed these (following the
 instructions for Debian on Mint 17.1), I tried to build GHC 8.0.2 from
 source, and compilation stopped with a LaTeX prompt. I hit enter a few
 times until `make` exited with an error, resulting in the following being
 the end of `make`'s output.

 The missing files are in the packages {{{texlive-latex-recommended}}} and
 {{{texlive-latex-extra}}}. I've corrected the wiki page but perhaps
 {{{configure}}} should test for their presence.
