Pugs needs the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC) 6.2 or above. To
install GHC, download a binary build from
http://haskell.org/ghc/. Although source code for GHC is
available, it will take a very long time to build by yourself.
Since obviously this compiler is being used for real work, has anyone
considered petitioning the major Linux distribution vendors to include
it in their upcoming releases? For example, I'm sure Fedora would pick
it up, given that it's being used in the development of the next major
version of an important core tool / language (Perl).
Obviously, we can all manage to download and install a compiler, but I
for one have been trying to make sure that anything truly useful is not
managed this way on my machines.
I would petition the projects that I know about, but I don't know
anything about Haskell, and it would be presumptuous of me.
