Probably, our Linux and library versions are too old to install from the binary ghc-6.0 distribution. Or should I really try this, with the above versions? This is why we rather need source RPM, as our administrator says (he does not want to update versions too often, and personally, I do not understand any in these system matters). - Serge Mechveliani [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users

The binary distribution (not the RPM) is basically just a tarball. It does no checking that you have the right versions of things, so it is a "use at your own risk". The download instructions do say that it is suitable for RedHat 7.2, though, so you might be ok with 7.3. If you want to build from source, you can use the "nosrc" RPM. This is just like the source RPM, except that the source isn't included. To build it, you need to download the source too (your sysadmin should know how to do this).

(It doesn't work with Red Hat Linux 9 however...) > If you want to build from source, you can use the "nosrc" RPM. This is > just like the source RPM, except that the source isn't included.

Btw I just uploaded ghc-6.0-7 to http://haskell.org/~petersen/rpms/ghc/ There are an updated nosrc rpm and binary packages for Red Hat 8.0 and 9 (ie glibc-2.3). So if you wish to rebuild, it might be a good starting point. Jens ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
