Ah, yes, you do need to sync it first, I tend to forget that step all
the time when writing down instructions.

You'll find all the built packages under `ghc` and `haskell-*`.

You have a number of installed haskell packages that require ghc
7.0.3-2 on your system.  Remove those first (e.g. `pacman -Rncs ghc`),
then you should have no problems installing the newly built one.

Good question.  Do you have any place where you can keep them long
enough for me to copy them over?
