GHC-5.00, first attempts

[Ralf Hinze]

Dear all,

here are the results from my first attempts to install
ghc-5.00 on my linux machine:

o  Using the binary package:

I was not able to install the documentation:

> make install-docs
./mkdirhier /home/ralf/Lang/share/ghc-5.00
cp -r html/* /home/ralf/Lang/share/ghc-5.00
chmod -R 644 /home/ralf/Lang/share/ghc-5.00
chmod: getting attributes of `/home/ralf/Lang/share/ghc-5.00/set': Keine Berechtigung
make: *** [install-html] Error 1


`ghc' expects `libreadline.so.3' while I have `libreadline.so.4'
installed on my machine.

> ghci
/home/ralf/Lang/lib/ghc-5.00/ghc-5.00: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
> locate readline.so
/lib/libreadline.so.4
/lib/libreadline.so.4.1
/usr/lib/libreadline.so

o  Building from source:

Any suggestions?
