Hi Leif,
Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately this no longer works, the process
is repeatedly killed for using too much memory on "make install". I also had
to manually install readline 4 since it's absurdly hard to open an RPM (or
at least the compat one they have there).
All up, this is ju
I had the same problem with the 6.8.3 install on Dreamhost, "unable to
determine current path" or something.
Ended up using 6.8.2 install, and had to crack open the rpm of the old
readline version they linked, put it in $HOME/lib, and set $LD_RUN_PATH to
point to that.

Ok, I tried nix but I couldn't get it to work. Initially I had a problem
since I was trying to get nix to install in my home directory and on the
host (Dreamhost) that's actually a symlink, which nix doesn't allow. Then
once I got it installed finally it didn't build - I can't remember the
details
Hi Marc,
Great, thanks for the pointer. I'll take a look at nix, that might be an
option. Thanks for the offer of server space too, but I'd really like to get
it going on my own space since I have domains and whatnot pointed there.
I also realise that the IDE support isn't there - it's even worse
Hi Colin,
I only know about one other option:
Try user mode linux / qemu / anotehr virtualziing software and setup the
environment within that which you need... :-(
Another thing you could try is installing nix (nixos.org) (software
distirbution
system).. It bootstraps current ghc via ghc-6.4.2 fr
Hi Chris,
Unfortunately that's not easy for me, I don't know exactly what the config
of the server is, and I use OSX at home. I could probably rig something up
using VMWare but that's a lot of work just to install the compiler. Another
option might be to create an unregisterised build, as detailed

I have the same problem as you -- a hosting environment with an old libc
-- and had the same problem with the binary distr
Hi all,
I just joined this list, I'm interested in learning Haskell to complement my
day job language (Java). I was interested in trying to make a simple website
using Haskell in order to have something to practise on, however in my
host's shared environment I can't use the Linux binary packages -
