What do you mean by checked out fptools and ghc and
downloaded the hc files? Do you mean you checked the
sources out of CVS and got a (not matching) set of .hc files
from the Web download page? A perfect recipe for disaster,
I guess.
You should use hc and source files from exactly the same
version of GHC. Unfortunately, the only version on the Web
at the moment is GHC 4.06, where the build process from .hc
is quite broken - it is possible to build it, but it
involves editing makefiles.
So, you might want to wait until GHC 4.08 is out (should be
any second, I guess), where all is much easier. In
particular, there is a script `hc-build' now that automates
the build process (which is described in the building
instructions included with the system - and which will be up
on the Web once 4.08 is released, I guess).
Cheers,
Manuel
