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.

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
