I want to use Haskell Platform 2013.2.0.0 on Ubuntu 13.04.

Because there is no binary package provided, I have to compile it manually. However, there is a problem. Ubuntu repo provides GHC 7.6.2, but the Haskell Pratform requires GHC 7.6.3 to compile it, which is newer. Therefore, I also have to compile and install GHC 7.6.3.

I am currently using GHC 7.6.2 and afraid such manual installation would mess up my environment.

My question is, what is the best and the safest way to install Haskell Platform 2013.2.0.0?

  • I want to know about version 2013.2.0.0 of Haskell Platform, which is newer than what @Mitch refers to. – Akihiro HARAI Jun 07 '13 at 12:42
  • This is in fact essentially a duplicate of the question cited by @Mitch. If you want to run Haskell Platform 2013.2, some suggestions are: 1) uninstall GHC 7.6.2 and build 7.6.3; 2) keep 7.6.2, but install Haskell and GHC 7.6.3 into your Home; 3) if you have the space, make a separate 13.04 install for Haskell development and do the builds there. – chaskes Jun 07 '13 at 15:43
