Try this tarball: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.4-x86_64-unknown-linux .tar.bz2 It should be enough to get you going. The RPM does need root access unfortunately, but that's something we could fix in the future. Cheers, Simon

Installing wxhaskell.
by Andrae Muys 02 Apr '05

02 Apr '05

I am running a Fedora Core 3 x86 box and attempting to install wxhaskell-ghc622 without success. Specifically it is obvious that I need to find libwx_gtk2-2.4.so and libwx_gtk2_gl-2.4.so. Which package, from which repository, have people installed these base libraries? I have tried installing wxGTK from the DAG repository, but it appears to have installed the wxWidgets library for GTK1.2. I have looked at the wxWidgets and wxHaskell websites and this appears to be the recommended combination, however it looks like the repository version is compiled against wxGTK2, and I can't seem to find that anywhere. I have done a yum whatprovides libwx_gtk2-2.4.so.0, with no success. I really am at a loss as to where to go from here? I have attached the output of the attempt to install wxhaskell in case there is something else wrong I'm missing.

Installing ghc64 rpm in a local folder?
by Patrick Scheibe 23 Mar '05

23 Mar '05

Hi, I'm new to Fedora. I need a very new version of the ghc compiled with --with-hopengl. On this machine isn't any ghc. So I started as usual trying to install a binary first ghc. I took the ghc64-6.4-4.x86_64.rpm package from the fedorahaskell site and tried to install it locally (because I have no root passwd) with ~>rpm --install --prefix "$HOME/built" "software/haskell/ghc64-6.4-4.x86_64.rpm" warning: software/haskell/ghc64-6.4-4.x86_64.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID aedf7ebb error: package ghc64 is not relocatable How can I get a first ghc running? And is it possible to compile a new one in the same simple way like on a non 64 bit machine? I never worked on a x86_64 machine before. Cheers Patrick

I think the message is a bit misleading: the compiler needs GHCi support in order to run TH code, and x86_64 doesn't have GHCi yet, even in a stage2 compiler (the RTS linker needs work).

Hallo, when trying to compile Pugs with ghc64 (ghc64-6.4-4 rpm, athlon 64) I get message like the following: src/Compile/Haskell.hs:28:25: Template Haskell bracket illegal in a stage-1 compiler [| return (VStr s) |] It seems that I got a stage 1 compiler...anybody? --------------------------------- John van Krieken, AT Computing BV, 024-3527242 john(a)ATComputing.nl, http://www.ATComputing.nl/images/pasfotos/john.jpg

It is a registerised build, bootstrapped from your snap binary some days ago. Jens

hugs98 snapshot build available for i386 and x86_64
by Jens Petersen 10 Mar '05

I finally packaged hugs98 for Fedora Haskell, starting boldly with the latest development snapshot 20050308! :) Lightly tested: let me know if you find any packaging problems. Jens
