Hello everyone,
I'm trying to build the Haskell Platform 2013.2.0.0 (with required GHC 7.6.3) on Debian GNU/Linux 6 (AKA Debian Squeeze).
So far, I've stumbled upon some a few errors, but I've managed to solve them and I have let the maintainers know. Now I'm stuck with an error while configuring the "network" package (see the end of this email). As such error has no accompanying diagnostics, I don't know how I could fix it. Any suggestions? Thanks for your attention.
Have a nice day.

I think that the next logical step would be to configure the network package by hand and see what error comes up. `cabal unpack network' followed by `cabal configure' in the relevant directory should hopefully provide a more meaningful error.
Thanks for your suggestion. Indeed, I considered using "cabal", but since its Hackage page lists many dependencies, I gave up installing it by hand (something I did for the "alex" package to fix a build issue). Moreover, according to Hackage "cabal" depends on "network": http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-install Therefore we would have a chicken-and-egg problem here, wouldn't we? Unless "cabal" could be built and installed for off-line use only.
