Tom,
I would suggest making a note on the GHC download page for non-root user
not to try the rpm, it is a waste of time. The tar.bz2 file works fine. Just be
careful when dealing with Lambdabot (and GOA). BTW, the 661
rpm depends on gmp-devel and readline, which further complicated the
case for non-root user.

>Indeed, I don't want to waste time but have
no choice (rpm needs root),
not
sure if this'll help (never tried it myself) but this claims there's a non-root
way to use rpm
