Thanks for the reply!

I'm using openSUSE 13.1, and of all the packages "available" when I choose to install the Haskell Platform, only the ones unmarked in the image I attach to this reply, are not installed.

I didn't install them because they were not selected by default; also I thought the ghc package might conflict with other stuff in the Haskell Platform (maybe it was standalone version of ghc).

So I guess I should install: ghc, ghc-ghc and ghc-ghc-devel?

Simple Yes/No (Maybe:-)...

Are you using the Fedora system installation of GHC by any chance? If so, the problem is that Fedora doesn't include GHC-as-a-library by default. See [1] for more details and how to resolve it.

If you're *not* on Fedora, please provide more information on your OS and how you install GHC/Haskell Platform.
