While installing ghc-8.4.3-i386-deb8-linux.tar.xz at Debian8 went
smoothly, can't se how to install ghc-8.4.3 at Ubuntu resp. Xubuntu: in dir ghc-8.4.3/ ./configure checking for gfind... no checking for find... /usr/bin/find checking for sort... /usr/bin/sort checking for GHC Git commit id... given 51abb1c88b53e2989a2a8c2939ac4abc04bef194 checking for ghc... /usr/bin/ghc checking version of ghc... 7.10.3 configure: error: GHC version 8.0 or later is required to compile GHC. Did cabal update and tried haskell-platform for ubuntu https://www.haskell.org/platform/linux.html#linux-ubuntu which seems broken Tried Haskell-platform from source: ./platform.sh *** *** Building hptool *** cabal: unrecognised command: new-build (try --help) Any help?

You could use stack instead of cabal. The most recent nightly stack snapshots use GHC 8.4.3. Stack has a lot[1] of advantages. One of them is that you can use a bunch of different versions of GHC at the same time. Whereas Cabal keeps a global collection of Haskell software, Stack keeps a bunch of different local ones, while cleverly avoiding wasting memory like you might expect that to imply. If you have a project that needs old stuff that's incompatible with new stuff, you're SOL with Cabal but it's no problem in Stack.

Hi, It seems as if you have also another version of GHC installed on your computer in another directory (usr/bin/ghc), and its version is 7.10.3, and it is considered the global version. You could try to use a virtual environment for installing the version 8.4.3 (I've never tried so I am not sure it works) Regards Il lun 4 giu 2018, 09:08 Andreas Röhler <[hidden email]> ha scritto: While installing ghc-8.4.3-i386-deb8-linux.tar.xz at Debian8 went _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [hidden email] http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beginners |

Thanks all!
Will try hsenv. Meanwhile recipe found here was succesful: https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/5jsyr0/announce_ghc_802_release_candidate_2/ Did sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hvr/ghc sudo apt update sudo apt install ghc-8.0.2 cabal-install-1.24 added /opt/ghc/bin to $PATH Configure done so and make is running...
