It looks like it might be a bit earlier than RedHat 6.2, our machine
here has libc-2.1.3. The RedHat 6.2 bundle should work fine.
One possible way to tell what your system is:
> rpm -qa | grep redhat
redhat-release-6.2-1
rpmdb-redhat-6.2-0.20000308
redhat-logos-1.1.0-2

Well, you have GMP 2 installed by the looks of it. I don't know why GHC
4.04 is failing, but it's probably not worth tracking down.
Cheers,
