    189189Hints on using a development snapshot of GHC: 
    190190 
    191 Note that this will take a long time, and it may not work. 
    192  
    193 First, check to see if a sufficiently recent "Stable" source snapshot is  
    194 available (as of 15-May, there isn't one yet).  If not, you might try a "HEAD"  
    195 snapshot (it is not clear that anyone has actually tried this).  Otherwise, you  
    196 might use cvs to grab your own snapshot: 
     191By far the simplest alternative is to use a "Stable" binary snapshot as 
     192described above.  Once you untar it, see INSTALL.  It's basically just 
     193 
     194    ./configure 
     195    make in-place   or   make install 
     196 
     197You could instead build from source.  Note that this will take a long time, 
     198and that it may not work.  Your best bet is to use a recent "Stable" source 
     199snapshot.  Alternately, you might use cvs to grab your own snapshot:
