Maybe I'm confused, but I did download the binary package. That's the one
I can't install. I downloaded the binary package and followed the steps in
the INSTALL file which included running the configure step (with an
optional prefix) and "make install". I don't think it's actually building
ghc. I can try the haskell platform to see what happens.

(Coming from a Haskell newbie who has both used the Haskell Platform and built
ghc from scratch-)
You want the Haskell Platform. It comes with a bunch of useful libraries in
addition to ghc. If you're a beginner, it will do everything you need for quite
a while.
Once you get used to using ghc and cabal and such, you can "upgrade" to the
latest ghc (or the development head, if you're a bleeding-edge kind of person).
