RE: 5.04.3: update_fwd: unknown/strange object
It occurs that we need first to install ghc-6.0 on i386-unknown, RedHat Linux platform.
Our administrator says here is a difficulty:
a) it is hard for us to install from sources, b) binary RPM would not do, due to library versions etc., c) we need source RPM distributive,
similar as we used when installing ghc-5.04.3.
But ghc-6.0 does not show any source RPM distributive.
Please, what can we do about this?
Use the nosrc RPM, or install locally in your home directory from the binary distribution? (you don't say what version of RedHat you have). Cheers, Simon

Is this a correct way to detect versions needed for the GHC installation? more /etc/redhat-release --> Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla) ls /lib/libc* --> /lib/libc-2.2.5.so ...
install locally in your home directory from the binary distribution?
Probably, our Linux and library versions are too old to install from the binary ghc-6.0 distribution. Or should I really try this, with the above versions? This is why we rather need source RPM, as our administrator says (he does not want to update versions too often, and personally, I do not understand any in these system matters). ----------------- Serge Mechveliani mechvel@botik.ru
