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!
