[Haskell-cafe] GHC 7, Platform 2011.2 vs OS X 10.5, Ubuntu 11.04

I just did this (in a pristine virtual machine):

* install ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso
* sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev zlib1g-dev libglut3-dev
* install from binary ghc-7.0.3-x86_64-unknown-linux.tar.bz2
* install from source haskell-platform-2011.2.0.1.tar.gz

and this definitely works, i.e. 'ghc-pkg list'
shows the platform modules, and no errors.
