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. You'll probably want cabal-install to easily get and build Haskell libraries, so go to http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-install and download a tarball. Depending on the GHC version apt-get gives you, you'd want different versions of cabal-install. 6.12.1 -> 0.8.0, 6.10.* -> 0.6.*, 6.8.* -> 0.5.*, I think. (If it's 6.8.*, maybe you want to get a newer GHC from http://haskell.org/ghc/download.html) Run 'ghc-pkg list' to find out which version of the Cabal (uppercase C) library came with your GHC, and search the cabal-install packages for corresponding constraints on Cabal. Download that version, unpack it. In the unpacked directory, run bootstrap.sh and you should have everything you need to start happy Haskell hacking :D
Thank you very much!
Best wishes,
Yours juan
