Hello.

If the RPMS are the one I have produced, you cannot ignore the dependency
on hmake. hmake is distributed together with nhc98, if you download the
source code and compile it yourself. There are some files that are common
between hmake and nhc98. But hmake can be used with other Haskell
compilers besides nhc98. Also hmake source code can be downloaded
separated from nh98, of course. So when packaging nhc98 and hmake I
put the common files in hmake, and it does not depend on nhc98. But
nh98 depends on hmake. So, install both of them. They are
working for me in my RedHat Linux 7.2 box.
