[Haskell-cafe] problems installing ghc 6.6 with extralibs (bad interface file)

[Thomas Hartman]

I installed ghc 6.6 from source ok. But then when I tried installing
it with the "extralibs" to get all the functionality that had been
unbundled in 6.6, I hit a glitch.

Anyone ever seen anything like this?

In case it matters, this is ssh-ed in to a virtualized user mode linux session.
