Do you have the readline-devel RPM installed? This is needed to compile GHC with readline support.
I run ghc here on two machines. And it appears now that both are under Debian Linux. Some people here say that this RPM does not go under Debian.
So the question becomes, do you have the libreadline-dev .deb installed? :-) If not, "apt-get install libreadline-dev", or something like that, should do the trick.
Maybe, GHC can take care of Debian?
GHC is in Debian, you probably want to use a cutting-edge release (i.e. sid or at least woody) to be reasonably current. I must admit I never compiled GHC, I just "apt-get" it (or RPMfind it nowadays :-( ) -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
