Hi, I found the RHEL4 souce and binary RPMs from 
http://forte-intl.com/~ronald/haskell/ghc/rhel4/, however, I do not have root 
privileges on the machine and therefore the installation attempts all failed 
(for binary RPM, it says can't create transaction lock 
/var/lock/rpm/transaction, for source RPM, it says cannot write to %sourcedir 
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES). Also, I currently have no access to any machine on 
which there is a working ghc installation so I can't even try the 
nonregisterised bootstrapping procedure. What should I try now? Thanks!

Di, Yu

Since you're using RHEL4, you could try grabbing a GHC source RPM for
Fedora and building that.  It might take a bit of tweaking, but
 probably
very little.  (For instructions on building binary RPMs from source,
Google around.)
