Chris, Whatever ships with the platform is usually best. ghc-6.10 is very stable, but ghc-6.12 has only just been released and so some libraries on hackage don't work with it yet. So, 6.10.4 is the best version to use at the moment. Welcome to the list - please ask away, and I hope you have fun learning Haskell! Steve Chris Saunders wrote:
I noticed the availability of Haskell Platform 2009.2.0.2 and did install this and when I run GHCi it says that its version is 6.10.4. Now on the GHC site I notice that the current version is 6.12. Should I have installed this more recent version or stick with what I have? Warning: many more dumb questions to come from this guy.
