It's not unrealistic, but there may be problems with the C libs (network/OpenGL/GLUT). I've created a ticket on the Haskell Platform bug tracker: http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/209 I'll try to produce a 64-bit installer and will be posting status updates there. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments _______________________________________________ Haskell-platform mailing list Haskell-platform@projects.haskell.org http://projects.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-platform
