i just don't get it.
please, can anybody explaim me how to do that?
i tried it the last few days with ghc-6.7.20070807, ghc-6.7.20070809, and ghc-6.7.20070810.
it always results in a broken library (without Prelude):

# ghc-pkg list
/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.7.20070810/package.conf:
    {ghc-6.7.20070810}, rts-1.0

i did this on my gentoo-i386-box (pretty old, takes 1h for quick build, 3.5h without mk/build.mk):

T=20070810
tar xjf ghc-6.7.$T-src.tar.bz2 
tar xjf ghc-6.7.$T-src-extralibs.tar.bz2 
cd ghc-6.7.$T
(
#echo BuildFlavour = quick
#cat mk/build.mk.sample
echo HADDOCK_DOCS = YES
) > mk/build.mk
./configure && ( time nice -n 19 make all install )


those extralibs seem to be installed in
 /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.7.20070810/lib/
but registered in
 ghc-6.7.20070810/driver/package.conf.inplace
instead of
 /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.7.20070810/package.conf
.
