[Haskell-cafe] Can I build and install GHC 6.10.1withoutprevious installed ghc

[Wang, Chunye (NSN - CN/Beijing)]

 Hi Duncan,

Thanks. IT WORKS !
I install 6.6.1, then compile the 6.10.1. 
There are some warning message. It seems that it doesn't matter. 

Best Regards

still be able to built 6.10.1 from source and should still be usable for
the RWH book.

Ahh, x86-64. Those have always been built on Fedora Core 5.

My only suggestion is to try older ones, eg 6.6.1. That version should
still be able to built 6.10.1 from source and should still be usable for
the RWH book.
