Hi, I found the RHEL4 souce and binary RPMs from http://forte-intl.com/~ronald/haskell/ghc/rhel4/, however, I do not have root privileges on the machine and therefore the installation attempts all failed (for binary RPM, it says can't create transaction lock /var/lock/rpm/transaction, for source RPM, it says cannot write to %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES). Also, I currently have no access to any machine on which there is a working ghc installation so I can't even try the nonregisterised bootstrapping procedure. What should I try now? Thanks!
Di, Yu

Hi, I am trying to use ghc on a 64-bit machine (uname -a shows: Linux ... 2.6.9-55.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Apr 20 16:36:54 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux),
Since you're using RHEL4, you could try grabbing a GHC source RPM for Fedora and building that. It might take a bit of tweaking, but probably very little. (For instructions on building binary RPMs from source, Google around.) http://mobile.yahoo.com/;_ylt=Ahu06i62sR8HDtDypao8Wcj9tAcJ
