Sorry, I had a problem with cut & paste. :-)

The file I used to install is

  ghc-6.2-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2

Since the rpm did not work with mandrake (rpm -Uvh complains that 
libreadline.so.4 is not installed, when it is installed in /usr/lib and /lib)


I installed with 

  ./configure
  make install

Yes.

ghci -v and ghc -v were giving a very clear output that they were searching in 
upeprcase directories, which were not present.

I tried both Mandrake 9.2 and Mandrake 10.0.
