GHC 6.8-20070913 (+extralibs) won't install after building
After removing the openal and alut directories (these cause build errors on Mac OS X 10.4), I was able to build ghc following the Mac+Readline instructions on the wiki.
When I ran "sudo make install", I see the following errors:
Installing: /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.8.20070913/ghc-6.8.20070913/lib/base-2.1 /usr/bin/ranlib: file: /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.8.20070913/ghc-6.8.20070913/lib/base-2.1/libHSbase-2.1.a(Win32Utils.o) has no symbols /usr/bin/ranlib: file: /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.8.20070913/ghc-6.8.20070913/lib/base-2.1/libHSbase-2.1.a(consUtils.o) has no symbols /usr/bin/ranlib: file: /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.8.20070913/ghc-6.8.20070913/lib/base-2.1/libHSbase-2.1_p.a(Win32Utils.p_o) has no symbols /usr/bin/ranlib: file: /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.8.20070913/ghc-6.8.20070913/lib/base-2.1/libHSbase-2.1_p.a(consUtils.p_o) has no symbols Registering base-2.1...

which seems not not quite right (why two 'ghc-6.8.20070913' in the path?) Should lib be one level up? (I t
