That ought to work. I just unpacked and installed ghc-6.8.3-i386-unknown- linux.tar.bz2 in a subdir of $HOME without root privileges. (I would've tried a newer release, but I had the 6.8.3 vanilla binary just happening to lie around.) So in principle it works, if it doesn't work with a later vanilla linux binary, that would be a surprise (and a bug), but then you could use an older one to build from source (that works, promised, I have done that a lot). > > On Sep 9, 2010, at 1:40 PM, Don Stewart <d...@galois.com> wrote: > > ali.razavi: > >> Is it possible to install either of these (preferably the latter) > >> somewhere in my home directory without having root permission?
