I was thinking about making a .deb package file Debian (could also be used for Debian derivatives like Ubuntu). You would then just do > dpkg -i WxHaskell.deb It should install to /usr/local, to minimize the risk of hurting the users system. And it will be easier for the user to remove WxHaskell if something goes horribly wrong. I do not really know how to make .deb files, but from my initial readings it do not seem to complicated. Note, that it will not be the kind of .deb than can go into the main Debian repository, as they need to follow an endless number of rules. Just something the user can download and easily install/remove.
