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. :-)

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 :-)

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