Hi Roman.
As I said in my comments I tried the binary distribution provided for CentOS65 Linux but ran into problems. I also tried the distribution provided for Debian Linux; this installed, but there were problems.
Fedora is the most "cutting edge" distro, and there is no ghc binary provided for it. I was able to build from source under Fedora 20 about a year ago.
% lsb_release -d Description: Fedora release 21 (Twenty One) % ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.8.3 There's no reason the binary ghc release shouldn't work for you (specifically, the deb7 one). What problems did you run into? (There's also no reason you shouldn't be able to build from source; but if all you want is just a working ghc installation, installing the bindist is much easier and faster.) Roman
