Use justhub rather than version in epel repo.
Don't bother with the version of
haskell-platform in
epel repo. It is sufficiently out-of-date (circa 2010) that it can't update via
cabal install cabal-install. Jump straight to using
justhub.
Justhub example for centos 6.x:
# install the justhub yum repo:
sudo rpm -ivh http://sherkin.justhub.org/el6/RPMS/x86_64/justhub-release-2.0-4.0.el6.x86_64.rpm
# install single current haskell version into /usr/bin
yum install haskell
# update cabal
cabal update
# e.g. install some packages via cabal
cabal install haskell-src-exts
Now I can get back to coding for
exercism.io. Come
review my first haskell program.
