Hmm? We are using the binary tarball for 7.6.3 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS extensively. The only trouble we ever encountered was that when installing GHC on a VM with a very minimal install of 12.04 64-bit, we had to temporarily install the 32-bit versions of a few basic Ubuntu system packages to get the GHC installer to work. After that we returned the machine to single-arch 64-bit and everything is fine. What problems have you encountered? -Yitz
