Hi cafe!
Probably you all know how to do this, but I myself found confused when building the Haskell Platform in Linux for my first time. I was using Linux for my first time too! The first problem I encountered was to decide what linux packages install to make the ./configure successful in both GHC binary distribution and the Haskell Platform. So I collected the names of the minimum set of packages that you need to have installed before starting with GHC and the Platform in a small blog post:

Shameless plug: also my http://www.vex.net/~trebla/haskell/haskell-platform.xhtml and it will be yet updated again next version.
