ghc is in fedora extras, all you needed to do to install it is
; yum -y install ghc
just like you would install most everything on a fedora system.

i'm not sure if this has been addressed - but is there a specific

Goodbye Haskell, I just wanted to compile a MP3 player, and perhaps if the

But as of right now, I don't have time to waste with broken compiler

Of course I meant friendliness. Consider English is not my native language.

Which directions are those? If they somehow tell users of Fedora to
download tarballs, they should be rectified to instruct users to 'yum
install ghc' instead.
