Perhaps you were installing by tarball because you thought Fedora doesn't have a recent version of ghc in their repositories?
Exactly. I saw the latest version was very recent, didn't think any FC6 repos woudl have it. As a matter of fact I wasn't even aware that FC6 repos had ANY haskell compiler in there. Minor side note: ghc is just one of many (albeit the dominant)
compiler for Haskell. Surely you wouldn't discredit C++ as a language just because your borland compiler broke? :-)
Don't worry, I wasn't as mad as I sounded. But I'm latin so I wanted to do a big scene so everyone pays attention and fixes this, either in the documentation, in the web page (by making the notice coloured red and <blink>blinking</blink> (joke), or in the ./configure script, or somewhere else. Thanks to everyone for their replies and respect. I could as well have earned a flame or two, but you were all very cool and polite, which speaks volumes about the quality of the community you guys have here. FC --
