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.. Thank you very much! Best wishes, Yours juan
You can use GHC 6.10.4 [1] and Haskell Platform [2]. Instructions on
how to install Haskell Platform on Ubuntu are available at its home
page [3].
What problems are you currently having?

I'd recommend ghc, not because its the best distribution, but because
its the only one I've used.
Here are the simplest directions I
could find that seemed correct:

I'm sure there are directions for hugs, but I haven't used hugs on Ubuntu.
Good luck,
Tim

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

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
