[Haskell-beginners] can't make distribution, requires rerunning ./configure

[Josh Stratton]

I recently downloaded the ghc distribution for Linux (x86_64) and had
difficulty installing to my machine.  The configure step seems to have
completed successfully, but when I run the followup "make install", it
fails suggesting that I haven't run the configure command yet.
