Re: [Haskell-cafe] haskell platform broken in ubuntu

Rustom, I've not looked at your forums link, what Vagif might be referring to is, since you've already got your compiler installed, installing the platform is /just/ compiling the remaining modules that are part of the platform. Of course, building the compiler from source would take a very long time. :-) Shrivats On Oct 5, 2013 10:50 AM, "Rustom Mody" wrote:

That will give you only ghc 7.6.2. If you want latest haskell-platform, source compile is the only option. And btw it is not THAT painful :) You run the script, wait 2-3 minutes and tada!

Ok so someone is very confused -- maybe me :-)

http://askubuntu.com/questions/286764/how-to-install-haskell-platform-for-ub...

seems to say that compiling from source takes like two full nights!!

Am I missing something?
