Building the Haskell Platform in Linux
Hi cafe! Probably you all know how to do this, but I myself found confused when building the Haskell Platform in Linux for my first time. I was using Linux for my first time too! The first problem I encountered was to decide what linux packages install to make the ./configure successful in both GHC binary distribution and the Haskell Platform. So I collected the names of the minimum set of packages that you need to have installed before starting with GHC and the Platform in a small blog post: http://deltadiaz.blogspot.com/2013/04/haskell-platform-from-source-in-linux.... If I would have to start all over again, forgetting what I have learned so far, I would fine this list very useful! This thought is what brought me here to make it public. Who knows, maybe I am saving somebody of some google searches and trials and errors. With my best intentions, Daniel Díaz. -- E-mail sent by Daniel Díaz Casanueva let f x = x in x

Shameless plug: also my http://www.vex.net/~trebla/haskell/haskell-platform.xhtml and it will be yet updated again next version.
Hello Albert!
Oh! I didn't find that one when searching for info! That would have helped
me a lot!
By the way, a random question, what's the memory of the computer you used
to build the Platform?
