Your new release installed ok, but GHC does not work on my system. I
can compile a simple hello world program, but running ghci or doing
other compilations result in program termination of GHC and the
terminal. GHC 6.6 did the same.

My result of ldd is:

bash-3.00$ ldd /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.8.2/ghc-6.8.2
        librt.so.1 =>    /lib/librt.so.1

        libncurses.so.5 =>       /usr/gnu/lib/libncurses.so.5
        libdl.so.1 =>    /lib/libdl.so.1
        libm.so.2 =>     /lib/libm.so.2
        libgmp.so.3 =>   /usr/lib/libgmp.so.3
        libpthread.so.1 =>       /lib/libpthread.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1
        libcurses.so.1 =>        /lib/libcurses.so.1

I've checked that i also have the other so's in your output in my
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The following is the last part of the truss output
when trying to run ghci.
