Hi, It seems as if you have also another version of GHC installed on your computer in another directory (usr/bin/ghc), and its version is 7.10.3, and it is considered the global version. You could try to use a virtual environment for installing the version 8.4.3

(I've never tried so I am not sure it works) Regards

While installing ghc-8.4.3-i386-deb8-linux.tar.xz at Debian8 went smoothly, can't se how to install ghc-8.4.3 at Ubuntu resp. Xubuntu:

in dir ghc-8.4.3/

./configure checking for gfind... no checking for find... /usr/bin/find checking for sort... /usr/bin/sort checking for GHC Git commit id... given 51abb1c88b53e2989a2a8c2939ac4abc04bef194 checking for ghc... /usr/bin/ghc checking version of ghc... 7.10.3 configure: error: GHC version 8.0 or later is required to compile GHC.

Did cabal update

and tried haskell-platform for ubuntu https://www.haskell.org/platform/linux.html#linux-ubuntu

which seems broken

Tried Haskell-platform from source:

./platform.sh *** *** Building hptool *** cabal: unrecognised command: new-build (try --help)

Any help?

Cheers, Andreas
