Did you already try one of the binaries from http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_641.html ? > Is this really as hard as it seems to me? I used to think I was > reasonably bright It should be easy, it's just the starting step that can be tricky, inherently to bootstrapping in general. But I can not really believe that RedHat doesn't have any old version of haskell available somewhere. Have a second look, try the URLs above for binaries and then it's really just a sequence of configure, make, make install (and some hours of waiting between those steps). If in doubt, read http://dresden-pm.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/PM/PugsFirstBloodEnglish#Haskell to get a general idea of the easiness, although it's not RedHat-driven.
