I noticed that )
I removed GHC 6 completely. Then installed platform-independent GHC 7
compiler.
Next to configure and eventually compile Haskell Platform I had to install
 libgmp3-dev, zlib and OpenGL libraries.
Istall  and 'cabal update' went smoothly.
Now I got :
GHCi, version 7.0.3

Great! Thanks!
