The best way to move beyond the somewhat dated version of the Haskell Platform that is distributed with Fedora 21 is to install the version available at http://www.haskell.org/platform instead of the version installed by yum. This fixes all of the shared library issues that arise when installing pandoc. Thanks to John MacFarlane (pandoc author) for this tip.
