Hello, I have been trying to install ghc on my redhat 7.3 system. I have about a 1.2 ghz processor. I got ghc-5.04.2 installed from an rpm. The ./configure for ghc-6.0.1 seemed to work fine. When I ran make it went for about an hour and a half, at which time it seemed to have been hung up for 15 or 20 minutes. I had to do other things so I stopped it and gave up for the day. Is it worth starting it before I go to bed, and see if it works by morning? What could I do to try to troubleshoot it? Is there an rpm for ghc-6.0.1? Thanks for your help.

I'd say yes, let it run overnight. ghc takes ages to build. In all fairness, so does gcc. I think it took two or three hours for me. It also uses lots of memory, so you may be swapping like crazy. -- David Roundy http://www.abridgegame.org
