Hi. I've got this work situation where I've got to do all my work on
/ancient/ RHEL5 systems, with funky software configurations, and no root

to install.
You can use GHC on RHEL 5 machines, it's just very tedious to set up. A
blog post I wrote a while ago describes the process:
http://twdkz.wordpress.com/2011/12/21/installing-ghc-7-0-3-and-the-haskell-platform-on-rhel-5-6/
I still use this, though now I have an extra step to build build GHC
7.4.2 atop of 7.0.3.
