Comment(by alexp):
I'm having the same problem as greenrd with /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.
So I thought to use the current ghc 7.2.2. But the ghc homepage advises
not to build ghc manually and instead to use haskell-platform. But, if I
were to do that then I would be waiting eleven months as I'm on Fedora 16.
And the next release of Fedora in May 2012 will ship the current haskell-
platform 2011.4.0.0 with ghc-7.0.4 also. So all hopes are on the next+1
version of Fedora that ships in November 2012, which might hopefully
include ghc>7.2. Eleven months.
I'm thinking my best option is to patch the existing 7.0.4 ghc. I can also
send this to the Fedora maintainer so it might go in as an update.
I see a whole lot of patches above, but I can't follow the code to put
together a single patch for 7.0.4.
