GHC for RedHat 7.0 (gcc 2.96)

GHC (4.08.1) rpm packages for RedHat 7.0 are available from ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/chak/jibunmaki/i386/ghc-4.08.1-2.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/chak/jibunmaki/i386/ghc-prof-4.08.1-2.i386.rpm [The second package is only required for profiling.] The corresponding source rpm is at ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/chak/jibunmaki/src/ghc-4.08.1-2.src.rpm ** IMPORTANT ** For this to work, you have to additionally install on old version (2.0) of the GNU Multiprecision Library (GMP). Get it off your old RedHat 6.2 CD or alternatively from ftp://ftp.linux.com/mounts/u2/mirrors/redhat/up2date/rhl-6.2/i386/RedHat/RPMS/gmp-2.0.2-13.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.linux.com/mounts/u2/mirrors/redhat/up2date/rhl-6.2/i386/RedHat/RPMS/gmp-devel-2.0.2-13.i386.rpm * You have to install *both* packages. * They can co-exist with the new library (version 3.0) installed by default with RedHat 7.0. NOTE: These packages cannot be installed on RedHat 6.2 and earlier (unless you manually upgrade to the rpm package manager 4.0). Happy Hacking, Manuel PS: Could these packages be linked from GHC's download page? And please also add the comment and links re gmp 2.0. Moreover, please *don't* remove the old links for the benefit of RH6.2 users.
