 This looks suspicious to me:  the ~ metacharacter is only  
 understood by shells, and only in certain circumstances (i.e. only at  
 the beginning of a word, not after a =),

This likely the problem, but a reasonable shell (i.e. zsh) will expand in
this circumstance:

% echo --foo=~
--foo=/home/wnoise

 Hi,
 I have been hacking the Haskell installation a few days on Redhat Linux.
   GHC 6.6 - 6.6.1 - Lambdabot does not work.

 Anyway, now my question is, how do I thoroughly clean up Haskell? (And
 maybe try again after a few days of rest.)


Is there some reason why you can't use RPMs, given that it's
a redhat system?

zsh only does so with setopt magicequalsubst.
