You could also run it inplace. That's what I do most of the time, as I
don't want it to replace the system's GHC. Just invoke 

ghc-topdir/compiler/stage2/ghc-inplace

But make install is fine too (now, read below)

Correct.

My fault, LskPrelude.hi was not properly installed in the imports
directory of GHC. Please pull the last changes from the LskPrelude
library, either './darcs-get pull -a' at your GHC toplevel, or cd
libraries/LskPrelude; darcs pull -a

then recompile and reinstall (actually running make install in
libraries/LskPrelude should be sufficient too). This time
LskPrelude.hi should end up in the proper location.
