As you have built ghc6.6 from sources I think that you also need to build
all haskell libs from sources. So, do

I did this, and got the feeling this would probably work, but is a
real sad world of dependency chasing with no (clear) end in sight.

So I investigated your second suggestion

Another way is to take ghc6 and all haskell libs from fiesty.

which to me seems much preferrable.

Was indispensible in helping me figure out how to do this.

To give some details on this (which is really more apt packaging know
how than haskell but whatever), I did something like

1) change /etc/apt/sources.list to add

deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted
universe multiverse

note, only add deb-src line here, not deb line, see article above for why.

sudo aptitude install fakeroot (needed utility)
fakeroot apt-get source --build ghc6
 -- complains, some dependencies are missing

sudo aptitude install .....
install packages with above command, not from source. it's my first
time using the aptitude command, I wonder if this does the same thing
as apt-get install, which is what I usually do. Whatever the case...

fakeroot apt-get source --build ghc6

works :)

all haskell libs from sources. So, do

$ apt-get source libghc6-mtl-dev
$ cd <haskell-mtl-or-whatever-dir-is-named>
$ runhaskell Setup.lhs configure
$ runhaskell Setup.lhs build
$ sudo runhaskell Setup.lhs install
