Thanks for the help.
I've installed a ghc compiler on my Linux box in order to cross-compile and I'm getting the following error. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

Generally yes.
You should start with a binary version of ghc and if you like you can
then use that to rebuild from source (or to build a newer version).
This is how it works with most of the source based distros (eg Gentoo,
FreeBSD). Another possibility is to boot from .hc files but if there is
a binary available for your platform then that's the easiest method.
I see you're using Solaris on x86. I recall someone on this list having
got it bootstrapped before. If no one does have a build available then
you'll need to follow these porting instructions:
http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.4.1/html/building/sec-porting-ghc.html#sec-booting-from-hc
It should be possible to make it work since there are builds for Solaris
on sparc and for other OSs on x86 and x86_64.
