The make install of the binary distribution http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.10.1/witten/ghc-6.10.1-powerpc-apple-darwin.tar.bz2 (see http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_6_10_1.html) for PPC Max OS X 10.5 (Leopard) fails on a case-sensitive file system with this error message:

As a work-around, I created the following symbolic link:

thorkil-naurs-mac-mini:/Volumes/tn18_HD_1/Users/thorkilnaur/tn/GHC/witten_ghc-6.10.1-powerpc-apple-darwin/ghc-6.10.1/dist thorkilnaur$ ls -l utils/haddock/dist-install/build/haddock
lrwxr-xr-x  1 thorkilnaur  501  7 Jan 12 23:31 utils/haddock/dist-install/build/haddock -> Haddock
thorkil-naurs-mac-mini:/Volumes/tn18_HD_1/Users/thorkilnaur/tn/GHC/witten_ghc-6.10.1-powerpc-apple-darwin/ghc-6.10.1/dist thorkilnaur$

With this link, the make install succeeds.

Thanks and best regards Thorkil
