Dear Sir or Madam::
Sorry to trouble you!
I am a beginner of Haskell and I just run into problems to install it. So I hope if you can tell me which version of Haskell should I use for Ubuntu 8.04 operating system..
I'm not familiar with Ubuntu, but
apt-get install libghc6*
or something like that should get you started (perhaps apt-search haskell first - or was it apt-get search?). Once you have GHC installed, you can start.
Use aptitude, not apt-* ... aptitude search ghc? (the compiler itself is ghc6, and the version in Hardy 8.04 is 6.8.2, which is sadly a bit old. Do you want to wait a month until Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 comes out, and upgrade?)
I think. (If it's 6.8.*, maybe you want to get a newer GHC from http://haskell.org/ghc/download.html)
If you do, er.. You might want to install it in your home-directory somewhere, and put it in your PATH, and uninstall any GHC you installed via Ubuntu, and... basically it's rather a nuisance, though not as bad as a few years ago. You may be able to get by just fine with Ubuntu 8.04's packages, for your learning process. -Isaac
