For most users, we recommend installing the Haskell Platform http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ instead of GHC. The current Haskell Platform release includes a recent GHC release as well as some other tools (such as cabal), and a larger set of libraries that are known to work together.
Btw, I've always wondered a little bit about the last part, namely "set of libraries that are known to work together"... what is actually meant by that? Does it simply refer to providing a selection of package-versions that form a valid coherent/simultaneous Cabal install plan? Cheers, hvr
