You can download and install the readline library as an ordinary user,
in your own filespace.  Just add
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/my/lib/dir
to your environment (and export it) before proceeding with ghc.

This is perfectly normal.  The executable is called ghc-6.2.2, and
the directory it lives in has the same name (but also contains many
other things apart from the executable).
