IME, this is very tricky to do right, even if the dependencies are the same (e.g. libc). My advice is: if you want packages, get them for your distro. If you haven't, compile from source or use generic binaries on $HOME. I've used Ubuntu for some time, until I got tired to wait 6 months for new packages and switched to Debian Unstable. I'd say I'm happy now, but I guess this unstable life isn't for a Linux newbie =). -- Felipe. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
