[Haskell-cafe] Installation with yum.

[Manoj Kummini]

Hi. 

I am trying to install haskell on FC3 following the instructions from
http://www.haskell.org/fedora/ I copied the lines:

root at blandings ~# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/haskell.repo
[haskell-stable]
name=Haskell Packages (stable)
baseurl=http://haskell.org/fedora/haskell/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.stable
gpgcheck=1
installdir=/opt
root at blandings ~#

When I try to install it, nothing happens, and I get the following message:

root at blandings ~# yum install haskell-stable

I am new to yum, and could not find much help on the web for using this.
Could someone tell me what I am missing or point to a URL?

Asking the same question in Google Groups fedora got me the answer that I
should use 
# yum -c /etc/yum.repos.d/haskell.repo install haskell-stable
but that returned the same message as above.

I posted the same question to the haskell list, but I realised that this is
probably the correct list to post it to.

Thanks
Manoj.
