[Haskell-cafe] Haskell Platform on Ubuntu: Installation Problems

[anonymous]

No, you shouldn't need to do that.
Just download the Haskell Platform and GHC 7:
http://lambda.galois.com/hp-tmp/2011.2.0.1/haskell-platform-2011.2.0.1.tar.gz
http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.0.3/ghc-7.0.3-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2

Extract ghc, change into the directory, run configure, then make install as
root.
After that, extract the haskell platform, change into the directory,
configure, make, make install as root.
Then run cabal update.

The haskell platform is broken on Natty.
