The Linux rpm package is now available from
ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/chak/jibunmaki/i386/ghc-4.06-1.i386.rpm
and the corresponding source package from
ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/chak/jibunmaki/src/ghc-4.06-1.src.rpm
The binary was build on a RedHat 6.1 box (ie, with glibc
2.1) and should also work on similar Linux systems. To put
an end to the `libgmp' problem, the rpm now includes a
dependency on the `gmp-devel' package (which RedHat users
will, eg, find on their RedHat CD). As a result, the rpm
might have to be installed using the `--nodeps' option on
some other systems (eg, SuSE).
Technical note for package builders: Due to the lack of the
`configure' script in `fptools/ghc/' in the original tar
file, the source rpm will run `autoconf' when used to
build a binary. This, of course, requires that `autoconf'
is installed on your system, which it probably is on most
Linux machines.
Happy Hacking!

PS: I recently moved to the University of New South Wales,
Sydney. Thus, all rpms that were accessible from my old
server in Japan, are now located at
ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/chak/jibunmaki/
Please update any bookmarks and links accordingly.
