Re: [Haskell-cafe] haskell platform broken in ubuntu

That will give you only ghc 7.6.2. If you want latest haskell-platform, source compile is the only option. And btw it is not THAT painful :) You run the script, wait 2-3 minutes and tada! On Friday, October 4, 2013 8:44:29 PM UTC-7, rusi wrote:

13.04 has packages for ghc 7.6.2

It is easy to install latest haskell platform though.

Just run this script: https://github.com/chrisprobst/ubuntu-raring-haskell

I was hoping that something a little less painful than a full from-source install is available/known.

At http://askubuntu.com/questions/286764/how-to-install-haskell-platform-for-ub... I find this -- basically the platform dependencies seem to have been made explicit.

sudo apt-get install ghc alex cabal-install happy libghc-cgi-dev libghc-fgl-dev libghc-glut-dev libghc-haskell-src-dev libghc-html-dev libghc-http-dev libghc-hunit-dev libghc-mtl-dev libghc-network-dev libghc-opengl-dev libghc-parallel-dev libghc-parsec3-dev libghc-quickcheck2-dev libghc-regex-base-dev libghc-regex-compat-dev libghc-regex-posix-dev libghc-stm-dev libghc-syb-dev libghc-text-dev libghc-transformers-dev libghc-xhtml-dev libghc-zlib-dev

I was wondering if others know it as an ok approach or are there problems?
