Hi Nick,

Why are you trying to control the path.

If you take a _fresh_ download of the source distribution you don't need
Mercury at all to build it.  The source download is half-built, that is to say,
the .m files have already been compiled to .c files, so your system's gcc can
simply finish it (just run configure like you normally would, making sure that
there is no mmc in the path).

$ tar -zxvf mercury-compiler-11.07.1.tar.gz
$ cd mercury-11.07.1
$ which mmc
  ^ This call should fail.
$ ./configure (select prefix and grades)
$ make
$ sudo make install

Configure will recognize that you don't have a mmc, it will also recognize that
it has pre-compiled C files that where untared from the downloaded tarball.  It
will then know that it doesn't need the Mercury compiler.

All the best.
