not trying to start a flame war here, but I had pretty good success with apt-get and ubuntu. however, I admit I never really got lambdabot to work. if you install from source you can have 6.6, 6.6.1 and 6.4 all installed at the same time. you just need to create simlinks for the old versions. (nothing gets overwritten except the symlink in /usr/bin) are you certain haddock depends on lambdabot? that seems very strange to me. t.

GHC 6.6 -> 6.6.1 -> Lambdabot does not work. Downgrade to GHC 6.4 -> Still not working, tried cabal-install to simplify my life, but no luck. Then install Cabal, Haddock -> Haddock cannot install bc Lambdabot is not there. (And some dependency issues.) Remove .ghci, Haddock still not work. It seems the Haskell world (outside the beautiful GHC) is in a recursive non-functional blackhole. Anyway, now my question is, how do I thoroughly clean up Haskell? (And maybe try again after a few days of rest.) My environment is Redhat Linux, install most stuff on /home/<user>/<product>/ where <product> = GHC, Lambdabot, cabal, haddock, etc. It seems there are some hidden files/dirs, .GHC, .ghci, anything else?
