[Haskell-beginners] Install on "foreign" server problems

[Lawrence Bottorff]

I'm trying to install the binary of 7.0.3 on a Bluehost.com server where I
have an account and ssh shell for a web client of mine. I want to eventually
run Yesod or happstack or some other sort of "haskell on the web." I've
talked with their tech support and they're cool with it as long as it's an
"in-place" install. Good. I try the ./configure and it errors saying things
like:

checking for path to top of build tree...
utils/ghc-pwd/dist/build/tmp/ghc-pwd: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.9'
not found (required by utils/ghc-pwd/dist/build/tmp/ghc-pwd)
utils/ghc-pwd/dist/build/tmp/ghc-pwd: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7'
not found (required by utils/ghc-pwd/dist/build/tmp/ghc-pwd)
configure: error: cannot determine current directory

I'm not (nor ever was) much of a sysadmin type. Any advice? I also installed
7.0.3 on my home machine and got a lot of dependency problems I'm sure I'll
face once I get past this GLIBC problem.

Actually, I'm just trying to do Web with Haskell on a server/cloud other
than my own home box. Again, I have a Web client and I'd like to get us off
PHP. Any Haskell-friendly clouds/hosts to suggest? Somebody said they had
Yesod running on Amazon EC2....
