[Haskell-beginners] can't install hackage package

[Emmanuel Touzery]

bingo...
i had to install the "ghc-ghc" and "ghc-ghc-devel" packages (at first I
installed only "ghc-ghc" and that wasn't enough". Now it's building and I'm
pretty sure it will go through.

Thank God for this mailing list, I could never find this out on my own.
Thank you!

Emmanuel
