Re: [Haskell-cafe] high probability of installation problems and quality of the glorious implementation

That is strange, I'm using Ubuntu myself, and I come from Windows so know absolutely nothing about Linux whatsoever, but GHC 6.10.2 binary installed without problems. But anyway, in this case, if you're on Windows, installation of GHC works like a charm: download, install, play. But for most of the packages on Hackage, Windows is not a good platform :) On Sun, Apr 5, 2009 at 10:19 PM, FFT wrote:

Once it's installed and working, GHC's a very decent compiler.

My general null hypothesis is, as Alec Baldwin put it, that a loser is a loser, or a buggy project is buggy.

If GHC is robust overall (which I'm yet to find out), why is the installation so broken? _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
