Comment:

 Looks like you downloaded a GHC tarball for the wrong architecture. You
 are probably on 32bit linux, and are trying to install GHC using a 64bit
 binary package.

 In any case, you should really be using Ubuntu's package manager (`apt-
 get`) to install GHC or the Haskell Platform, as suggested by Simon.
