Are you running 32-bit Ubuntu 8.04 ?

Fractured?

I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 and soon to move to 9.04 and I agree

I can't see the world in such black and white terms. GHC has strengths
and weaknesses, as do other projects. GHC is changing over time, as are
other projects.

My general null hypothesis is, as Alec Baldwin put it, that a loser is
a loser, or a buggy project is buggy.
If GHC is robust overall (which I'm yet to find out), why is the
installation so broken?
What about 6.10.1? Is it failing too?

But anyway, in this case, if you're on Windows, installation of GHC works
like a charm: download, install, play. But for most of th

I've been learning and using GHC in spare hours for several years. I've
had challenges installing it on MacOSX-ppc, and on RHEL4; kind folks on
irc and the mailing lists have always been very h
I'm still learning Haskell and also evaluating whether I want to use
the language in my work.
It seems like a fascinating language so far (although I don't know if
laziness will be a detriment later for me eventually), but I'm a bit
worried about the overall quality of its GHC implementation.
