1) Install GHC 6.10.3 from the binary tarball
2) Intall the haskell platform. ( not without problems, sadly )
3) cabal install HDBC-mysql

voilà.

That worked both on Kubuntu 9.04 and on Centos 5.3

On kubuntu it was a pain in the .... to figure out which files were
needed for opengl. I had to make a symlink by hand. ( opengl was built
by the haskell platform )

On centos 5.3 ... libedit was the problem, but once the haskell
platform is installed, cabal install hdbc-mysql works like a charm.
