[Haskell-beginners] Can't install json-.0.4.4 - memory allocation failed

[Dan Tenenbaum]

Updating GHC by building it from source seemed to to the trick. I was
then able to install the latest pandoc and dependencies. It was
suggested I install GHC 7.4.2 rather than 7.6.* so that's what I did.
Thanks,
Dan
