Re: [Haskell-cafe] downloading GHC

ketil:

I needed GHC on a new machine, and went to download a binary tarball.

First, I go to http://haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_6_12_3.html, which kindly suggests to get the Haskell Platform instead.

Then, at http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/linux.html, I'm told that I first need GHC, and pointed back to the GHC download page.

I'll manage, of course - but I think this is a bit more confusing than it need be.

Linux users don't have easy binary installers, usually. What can we do about this bootstrapping problem?
