[Haskell-beginners] ghc-8.4.3 at Ubuntu

[Ut Primum]

Hi,
It seems as if you have also another version of GHC installed on your
computer in another directory (usr/bin/ghc), and its version is 7.10.3, and
it is considered the global version.
You could try to use a virtual environment for installing the version 8.4.3

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hsenv

(I've never tried so I am not sure it works)
Regards
