On possible thing you can do is
* Find a copy of libreadline.so.4 from somewhere (your home PC ?)
* Place it in some dir under your control, eg /home/herrman/lib
* export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/herrman/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Now ldd /path/to/ghc-5.02-executable
should show libreadline.so.4 being picked up from /home/herrman/lib
and you should be able to run ghc.

| Dear Haskellers,

|
| It worked well on my PC at home. However, I also have to
| install it at our office and students pool but unfortunately,
| our system administrator told me that he will not allow hacks
| of this kind.
| He asked me to adapt the installation appropriately instead of
| manipulating the system.
|
| Please tell me how to adapt the makefile or something else to
| get it running. I'm sorry not to be an installation expert;
| maybe it's a simple thing to do.
|
| Many thanks in advance
