Hi,

I'm new to GHC (and Haskell).
I have tried to install the newest available binary distribution of GHC for
AIX  which is GHC version 6.8.2.
Unfortunately, it didn't work properly. Following the trivial installation
steps as described
in INSTALL file I executed the following commands:

    1) ./configure --prefix=/home/nik/local
    2) gmake install

But I got the following error message:
------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
....
Reading package info from stdin ... done.
warning: can't find GHCi lib HSrts.o
Saving old package config file... done.

Am I missing something?
Any help is very much appreciated!

PS: I have originally posted to Haskell-cafe mailing list that was
obviousely not
       the right place for my question!!
