GHC for RedHat 7.0 (gcc 2.96)

[Manuel M. T. Chakravarty]

GHC (4.08.1) rpm packages for RedHat 7.0 are available from

  ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/chak/jibunmaki/i386/ghc-4.08.1-2.i386.rpm
  ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/chak/jibunmaki/i386/ghc-prof-4.08.1-2.i386.rpm

[The second package is only required for profiling.]

The corresponding source rpm is at

  ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/chak/jibunmaki/src/ghc-4.08.1-2.src.rpm

** IMPORTANT **

For this to work, you have to additionally install on old
version (2.0) of the GNU Multiprecision Library (GMP).  Get
it off your old RedHat 6.2 CD or alternatively from

  ftp://ftp.linux.com/mounts/u2/mirrors/redhat/up2date/rhl-6.2/i386/RedHat/RPMS/gmp-2.0.2-13.i386.rpm
  ftp://ftp.linux.com/mounts/u2/mirrors/redhat/up2date/rhl-6.2/i386/RedHat/RPMS/gmp-devel-2.0.2-13.i386.rpm

* You have to install *both* packages.

* They can co-exist with the new library (version 3.0)
  installed by default with RedHat 7.0.

NOTE: These packages cannot be installed on RedHat 6.2 and
      earlier (unless you manually upgrade to the rpm
      package manager 4.0).

Happy Hacking,
Manuel

PS: Could these packages be linked from GHC's download page?
    And please also add the comment and links re gmp 2.0.
    Moreover, please *don't* remove the old links for the
    benefit of RH6.2 users.
