Hi. I am trying to install haskell on FC3 following the instructions from http://www.haskell.org/fedora/ I copied the lines: root@blandings ~# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/haskell.repo [haskell-stable] name=Haskell Packages (stable) baseurl=http://haskell.org/fedora/haskell/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.stable gpgcheck=1 installdir=/opt root@blandings ~# When I try to install it, nothing happens, and I get the following message: root@blandings ~# yum install haskell-stable Setting up Install Process Setting up Repo: base repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Setting up Repo: haskell-stable repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Setting up Repo: updates-released repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files base : ################################################## 2622/2622 haskell-st: ################################################## 53/53 primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 292 kB 03:02 MD Read : ################################################## 684/684 updates-re: ################################################## 684/684 No Match for argument haskell-stable Nothing to do root@blandings ~# I am new to yum, and could not find much help on the web for using this.

The problem is that "haskell-stable" is the name of a repository and not a package. Yum manages packages. (Repositories are where yum gets the packages, but for the most part you can ignore the repositories once your yum.conf file is suitably configured.) As an example, to install GHC, the GHC profiling libraries, and the GHC docs, you could use the following command: yum install ghc ghc-prof ghc-docs To see what packages are available, use this command: yum list '*' | grep haskell-stable Cheers, Tom
