<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi, I found that the x86_64
binary package for version 6.4.1 can be installed successfully on my machine
(the x86_64 builds for higher versions either require libreadline.so.5 or have
problems with timer_create), and then I tried to use that to compile 6.8.2 from
source, but I got the following problem:<br>
<br>

<br>
Please report this as a GHC bug: <a

<br>
What is this problem? (I can use 6.4.1 but my programs were last developed with
6.8.1 and contains some function calls that are added later, so I would prefer
to use 6.8.1 and above) Thanks,<br>

Since you're using RHEL4, you could try grabbing a GHC source RPM for<br>
Fedora and building that. It might take a bit of tweaking, but probably<br>
very little. (For instructions on building binary RPMs from source,<br>
Google around.)<br>
