No, you shouldn't need to do that.

Just download the Haskell Platform and GHC 7:

http://lambda.galois.com/hp-tmp/2011.2.0.1/haskell-platform-2011.2.0.1.tar.g... http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.0.3/ghc-7.0.3-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2

Extract ghc, change into the directory, run configure, then make install as root. After that, extract the haskell platform, change into the directory, configure, make, make install as root. Then run cabal update.

The haskell platform is broken on Natty. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/haskell-platform/+bug/742052

I noticed that ) I removed GHC 6 completely. Then installed platform-independent GHC 7 compiler. Next to configure and eventually compile Haskell Platform I had to install libgmp3-dev, zlib and OpenGL libraries. Istall and 'cabal update' went smoothly. Now I got : GHCi, version 7.0.3 Great! Thanks!

I dropped the idea of installing Haskell Platform with synaptic. I installed it manually and I don't have any problem since then.

To install GHC 7, have you completely de-installed GHC 6.12.3 and all related libraries ?

Hi, I am trying to install Haskell Platform on latest Ubuntu desktop: ( uname -a: Linux frigate 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux )

I started with installing GHC. Ubuntu could only install version 6.12.3: without Cabal! Now I am trying to install haskell-platform which is a separate package. Ubuntu suggests to insatll version 2010.1.0.0.1 and fails (see bellow). What sould I do now to get GHC + Cabal? Should I: 1) De-insatll GHC 6.12.3 and all related libraries and try then installing Haskell Platform again? 2) Should I install Caball separately and forget about Haskell Platform? 3) Provide somehow for two different installations?

Thanks!

=== Installation errors:

This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.
