Hi Duncan,

wget http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.8.2/ghc-6.8.2-x86_64-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 tar -jxvf ghc-6.8.2-x86_64-unknown-linux.tar.bz2

Ahh, x86-64. Those have always been built on Fedora Core 5. My only suggestion is to try older ones, eg 6.6.1. That version should still be able to built 6.10.1 from source and should still be usable for the RWH book. Duncan
