It's a shame it's so hard to setup Haskell on CentOS. I guess compiling GHC
7 from source takes a lot of time (?). It would be nice to know if anyone at
all has managed.

Does anyone know why the Haskell Platform won't install though? 2010.2.0.0
should work with GHC 6.12. The "collect2: ld" error message above gives no
meaning to me. Has anyone succeeded installing the Haskell Platform on
CentOS 5.5?
