Can not bootstrap using 6.12.1-rc2

Hi,

Can not bootstrap using 6.12.1-rc2.

I tested bootstrap 6.12.1-rc2 on i386. I read the following and tested bootstrap. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Porting

At first I tested boot strap to the i386 from i386. # I think it not to have any problem even from the same architecture, because it is the test of bootstrap.

I became the following errors when I execute "<H>$ ./configure --target=plat ". # <H> mean HOST.

ghc-6.12.0.20091121$ ./configure --target=i386-unknown-linux
checking for gfind... no
checking for find... /usr/bin/find
checking for sort... /usr/bin/sort
checking for GHC version date... given 6.12.0.20091121
checking for ghc... no
configure: error: GHC is required unless bootstrapping from .hc files.

Could you have any comment?
