Hi Duncan,
wget
http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.8.2/ghc-6.8.2-x86_64-unknown-linux.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf ghc-6.8.2-x86_64-unknown-linux.tar.bz2
cd ghc-6.8.2
./configure
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Which we'll further canonicalise into: x86_64-unknown-linux
checking for path to top of build tree... pwd: timer_create: Invalid
argument
configure: error: cannot determine current directory
Even though I can fixed this by ``cp /bin/pwd utils/pwd/pwd'' , there is
still similar error
``ghc-pkg.bin: timer_create: Invalid argument''
I guess any executable file generates same error message.
Best Regards
Chunye Wang <chunye.wang at nsn.com>

I suggest you use the binary for ghc-6.8.2 (not 6.8.3) or earlier
because those were built on an old Red Hat 9 server and are thus
compatible with older versions of glibc and the Linux kernel.
If you really need ghc-6.10 (you probably do not if you're just trying
examples from the Real World Haskell book) then you can build ghc-6.10.x
from source once you have the ghc-6.8.2 binary installed.
