Just a quick comment on a couple of things Brian Strand writes:
Or is ghc/Haskell established enough that
the existence of some Haskell compiler is taken for granted nowadays?
Ghc is not written in pure Haskell - it is written in Ghc Haskell,
i.e. it uses many extensions and internal libraries

There is a x86_64 build already in Fedora Haskell.

Not being intimately familiar with ghc internals, I don't know how
much work this is, and whether the implementation cost exceeds the
benefit (easier installation for Haskell novices like me).
My guess is that for GHC, it won't work; the .hc files are

There are some debian packages of ghc 6.2.2 and related stuff for amd64
located here:

Hopefully you can find some way to convert these to a format you can

Thanks a lot! For anyone who runs into the same problem, here is
what I did:
1. Converted to an rpm via alien -r ghc6_6.2.2-3_amd64.deb
2. Installed the resulting rpm.
3. When I tried to run ghc6, I got
/usr/lib/ghc-6.2.2 # /usr/bin/ghc6

You actually need the .hc source files too, which don't come with the
source distribution because they have to be built for each target
platform.
That section of the Building Guide wasn't really clear enough on this
Thanks, good to know; I'll read through 10.2 more carefully. I didn't
think I'd need to cross-compile x86-linux to x86-linux.
You don't need to - the recommended way is to download a binary
version. If you don't like using binary distributions, then use it for
bootstrapping only, i.e. use it

I originally tried the binary distribution but ran into library
issues. That is of course the obvious path to try, and try it I did.
Rather than going straight to installing deprecated libraries, I tried
to provide some feedback on ghc (especially since 6.4 RCs are out).
