Re: [Haskell-cafe] Fwd: [Fwd: linux version compatible with GHC 4.3 ?]

Hello Damien! Here are a couple of points: ---------- Forwarded message ----------

From: Damien Mattei Subject: linux version compatible with GHC 4.3 ?

Did you mean 8.4.3? All major modern Linux distributions are compatible with this version. But you might run into installation issues, just like with *any other piece of software*.

does anyone know a linux distrib where haskell platform installs out of the box? ...

I see you were able to install GHC on CentOS 7.2, but not on Fedora Core 28. It happens. I can't really tell what might have gone wrong with your installation on Fedora without additional details, such as: what did you actually do for the installation. But it definitely should be possible to install GHC on Fedora.

does it works on Ubuntu?

Yes, I'm using Ubuntu with several different versions of GHC including 8.4.3. I use HVR's ppa for installation: https://launchpad.net/~hvr/+archive/ubuntu/ghc -- Best wishes, Artem
