Description

Using ghc-6.6.1 to build ghc-6.10.1 fails because it's missing the hsc2hs tools required by the hpc package.

Installing the cabal hsc2hs-0.67.20061107 package fixed that problem.

Where did you get your GHC 6.6.1 from? As far as I can tell, 6.6.1 was shipped with hsc2hs.

I used a standard ghc-6.6.1-src.tar.bz2 found at the official ghc download site. Did a configure, make and install.

You're correct, the tool is present in the tar, but apparently not installed with the standard "make install".

Well, I'm fairly sure hsc2hs was installed with 6.6.1. It's in the binary distributions, I just checked.

Still, it wouldn't hurt to have configure check for hsc2hs anyway.

Non-essential; I've made a note to do this in the new build system. Bumping to 6.12.

The new build system doesn't use the installed hsc2hs, it always uses the one in the build tree.
