Re: [Haskell-cafe] Need help with ghc static compile for cgi using mysql

For now, I've given up on cheap hosting (via statically compiled CGI). I've created a GHC 6.10.4, cabal-install, Ubuntu 9.04 ec2 instance + MySQL and it works well. Running this plus EBS and Elastic IP will run a little over $60 a month. Ouch. The work going into Haskell Platform is amazing, but... Haskell needs a better commodity hosting story, to allow for casual, fun web hacking. For the record, I tried nearlyfreespeech.net and dreamhost. I wasn't able to install ghc and cabal due to: * FreeBSD GHC support (old version) * FreeBSD library support (no HDBC) * Linux - Missing 'dev' libraries like zlib and not having root access
