[ANNOUNCE] GHC 8.6.5-rc1 is now available

[Andres Sicard Ramirez]

Hi Ben,

Using https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/8.6.5-rc1/ghc-8.6.4.20190406-x86_64-deb8-linux.tar.xz
I running as usual

$ ./configure --prefix=<some-path>
$ make install

I got the following error:

./template-haskell.cabal has been changed. Re-configuring with most recently
used options. If this fails, please run configure manually.
Configuring template-haskell-2.14.0.0...
ghc-cabal: Cannot find the program 'ghc'. User-specified path
'/builds/ghc/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-stage1' does not refer to an executable and
the program is not on the system path.

ghc.mk:985: recipe for target 'install_packages' failed
make[1]: *** [install_packages] Error 1
Makefile:51: recipe for target 'install' failed
make: *** [install] Error 2

Best,
