Comment(by alexp):

 I'm having the same problem as greenrd with /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.

 So I thought to use the current ghc 7.2.2. But the ghc homepage advises
 not to build ghc manually and instead to use haskell-platform. But, if I
 were to do that then I would be waiting eleven months as I'm on Fedora 16.
 And the next release of Fedora in May 2012 will ship the current haskell-
 platform 2011.4.0.0 with ghc-7.0.4 also. So all hopes are on the next+1
 version of Fedora that ships in November 2012, which might hopefully
 include ghc>7.2. Eleven months.

 I'm thinking my best option is to patch the existing 7.0.4 ghc. I can also
 send this to the Fedora maintainer so it might go in as an update.

 I see a whole lot of patches above, but I can't follow the code to put
 together a single patch for 7.0.4.
