Hi Adrian<br>
<br>
Is Centos close enough to RedHat to use Fedora packages?<br>
<br>
The Haskell-Platform seemingly is available as a package:<br>

<br>
Leksah has a fairly large set of dependencies so installing it might<br>
take some work - particularly where it depends on packages outside the<br>
Haskell Plaform (GTK, etc...) you might well want versions from<br>
Hackage rather than ones prepackaged for Fedora. It might be worth<br>
asking on the Fedora-Haskell-devel mailing list for better advice.<br>
<br>
Best wishes<br>
<br>
Stephen<br>
