I suggest you use the binary for ghc-6.8.2 (not 6.8.3) or earlier because those were built on an old Red Hat 9 server and are thus compatible with older versions of glibc and the Linux kernel. If you really need ghc-6.10 (you probably do not if you're just trying examples from the Real World Haskell book) then you can build ghc-6.10.x from source once you have the ghc-6.8.2 binary installed.
