I have ghc-5.02.2 installed from the RPM packages by
Manuel M. T. Chakravarty, available at

ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/chak/jibunmaki/i386/ghc-5.02.2-1.i386.rpm

I do not know exactly what is the ghc driver script, but none of
the files from the package has a line matching the regular
expression "libdir.*=", except the file /usr/bin/ghcprof, which
I believe is not being used.

There is a /usr/bin/ghc Bourne shell script:

	#!/bin/sh
	GHCBIN="/usr/lib/ghc-5.02.2/ghc-5.02.2";
	TOPDIROPT="-B/usr/lib/ghc-5.02.2";
	# Mini-driver for GHC
	exec $GHCBIN $TOPDIROPT ${1+"$@"}

I hope this help diagnosing the problem.
