Hi. I've got this work situation where I've got to do all my work on /ancient/ RHEL5 systems, with funky software configurations, and no root privileges. I wanted to install GHC in my local account, but the gnu libc version is so old (2.5!) that I can't even get the binary packages to install. I've had success installing some other simple functional languages (like CLISP) on these same systems, so I was wondering if there was perhaps another language very similar to Haskell (but presumably simpler) with a super portable compiler easily built from source, which I could try. I'll admit -- I haven't tried the HUGS compiler for Haskell. The quick description didn't make it sound much more portable than GHC, but I guess I could try it if I heard some good reasons to think it would be more portable. -- frigidcode.com
