Error in installation (fixed)

Hello,

I just installed ghc on Mandrake Linux 10, from the file 
glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org.

I was getting an error when I ran ghc and ghci:

Hsc static flags: -static

--------------

I've been able to solve it with

cd /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.2/imports/System

ln -s io IO

cd /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.2/imports/

ln -s ghc GHC
