Do you mean you did "apt-get install ghc" and it installed it into
/usr/local?

I don't know anything about sidux, but one thing to try is installing
the Debian ghc6 package and using it to compile GHC yourself. Then
remove the Debian package and continue using your own GHC.

Or just report the bug to sidux and see if they'll fix it?


Thanks
