Moreover, there are now binary RPM packages for x86/Linux
built with RedHat 7.1 (for glibc 2.2):

  ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/chak/jibunmaki/i386/ghc-5.02-1.i386.rpm
  ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/chak/jibunmaki/i386/ghc-prof-5.02-1.i386.rpm
  ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/chak/jibunmaki/i386/ghc-doc-5.02-1.i386.rpm

Note that a binary distribution now consist of *three* rpm
packages.  I decided to split off all pre-formatted
documentation into the `ghc-doc' package.  The preformatted
documentation is also available online from the GHC Web
page, so some people may decide not to install the
documentation locally if they are short on disk space.

The matching source RPM is at

  ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/chak/jibunmaki/src/ghc-5.02-1.src.rpm
