Confused about enabling parallel ghc

I installed ghc 4.08.2 binaries for sparc solaris (and those for intel
linux, too), then tried compiling a sample program (the fibonacci one
in the user guide) with ghc -parallel. The compiler complained:
Could not find interface file for `Prelude'
in the directories ./*.hi
/u/trebla/lib/ghc-4.08.2/imports/lang/*.mp_hi
/u/trebla/lib/ghc-4.08.2/imports/concurrent/*.mp_hi
/u/trebla/lib/ghc-4.08.2/imports/lang/*.mp_hi
/u/trebla/lib/ghc-4.08.2/imports/concurrent/*.mp_hi
/u/trebla/lib/ghc-4.08.2/imports/std/*.mp_hi
(and similarly for Parallel.)
Does it mean I must build ghc myself from source?
The user guide promises a lot of binary bundles such as par. Ever
since 4.0x, the ghc download page ceases to mention them. Where
are they?
