It sounds like there's a problem in the RPM package since Hugs itself
isn't that fussy.  You could install Hugs from source yourself.

1) Download the tarfile from http://haskell.org/hugs
2) Untar it
3) cd hugs98/src/unix
   ./configure --prefix=$HOME --with-readline
   cd ..
   make install

This should significantly less than 5 minutes.
