Judah, Thanks for your reply, and your help.

What I /was/ seeing was a successful compile and install of ghc, but no readline functionality in ghci (i.e. backspaces gave me junk). > Also, a couple of other generic questions: > - Are you on x86 or PPC?

I have both, but I've been using the x86. > - How are you bootstrapping the build of 6.8.2: are you using a > pre-built binary of ghc-6.8.1, or some other way? Yep, a binary distro of 6.8.1 was right. I must have failed to dot an 'i' somewhere before. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
