Problem installing haskell-platform

I'm trying to install Haskell (for the first time). Following the instructions on the website, I downloaded:

I unpacked the ghc package, and installed it without problems. Then I unpacked haskell-platform and run the following:

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
su
make install

I get this error:

**************************************************
* Building each component completed successfully.
*
* Now do "sudo make install"
**************************************************
milanb@slicky:~/install/haskell-platform-2009.2.0.2$ su
root@slicky:/home/milanb/install/haskell-platform-2009.2.0.2# make install
scripts/install.sh
Installing mtl-1.1.0.2...

Error:
The mtl-1.1.0.2/Setup script does not exist or cannot be run
make: *** [install] Error 2

What to do next?

This appears to be the most relevant link: http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/84

I'm not sure what the cause is, but I think it is better reported to the Haskell Platform mailing list and bug tracker:
