I've been spoiled by package managers that download and install everything for you, and I've forgotten how RPM works. In particular, I want to install Haskell on suse, and I read that "RPMs are available from openSUSE. " I followed the link, and found a bunch of folders of folders of RPM files. What exactly should I do to install Haskell? Sorry about the newbicity of this request, but I'm totally stumped. If suse isn't a well-supported platform, I'll switch. Thanks in advance.

man rpm (You probably want rpm -i) Cheers, Edward

One possibility is to use zypper (man zypper should get you started). Another option (what I prefer) is to go to http://software.opensuse.org/search/ search for what you want and one-click install. Thirdly, open YaST, add the repository with the Haskell packages and do it via install or remove software.

Hello, cafeers! Are there OpenSuse repositories with ghc-6.12 maintained? Some months ago I installed 6.12.1 from someone's repository but now it's unavailable. My system is 11.2 (x86_64). Only ghc*6.10.4-7.1 packages are present. -- Iliya Kuznetsov
