Hi, I found that the x86_64 binary package for version 6.4.1 can be installed 
successfully on my machine (the x86_64 builds for higher versions either 
require libreadline.so.5 or have problems with timer_create), and then I tried 
to use that to compile 6.8.2 from source, but I got the following problem:

make[2]: Entering directory `.../ghc-6.8.2/libraries/base'
../../compiler/stage1/ghc-inplace -package-name base-3.0.1.0 -hide-all-packages 
-split-objs -i -idist/build/autogen -idist/build -i. -Idist/build -Iinclude 
-#include "HsBase.h" -odir dist/build -hidir dist/build -stubdir dist/build

  (GHC version 6.8.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
        lookupVers1 base:GHC.Prim sym{tc}

Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

<<ghc: 107290456 bytes, 19 GCs, 3592250/7424504 avg/max bytes residency (3 
samples), 20M in use, 0.00 INIT (0.00 elapsed), 0.17 MUT (0.23 elapsed), 0.06 
GC (0.07 elapsed) :ghc>>

What is this problem? (I can use 6.4.1 but my programs were last developed with 
6.8.1 and contains some function calls that are added later, so I would prefer 
to use 6.8.1 and above) 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.)
