the i386 linux ghc bindist still uses readline 4 <http://haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_682.html>, which is hard to get: readline 5.0 came out almost three and a half years ago <ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/>

And I don't want to pollute my Ubuntu system with "compatibility RPMs"; in fact I intend to install the bindist as my local user so I don't pollute it with extra GHCs either, except I can't. Could there be a bindist with modern readline, or perhaps is it possible to statically link with readline?

The i386 machine I use here for building the bindists is running a rather old version of RedHat. I do intend to upgrade it at some point, but it's entirely possible for someone else to build a bindist too.

Cheers,
