If you just want to install the binaries, look for a binary package (Ubuntu's got one, so Fedora might have one too).
If you really want to install from source, try cabal-dev (worked for me, see my other comment) or virtualhenv.
- exDM69 14y agoYou don't want to take any development libs from your distro. At most, take the compiler (if the version is good) and install the rest in your home dir. The libs that come with your distro are intended to support applications that come from the distro. Usually that means that the libs are quite old and developing or running new projects with those will fail. For development work and reliable deployment, use the libs from your language's package manager (cabal, pip, easy-install, npm, cpan, rvm, bundler). For applications from your distro, use the packages in your distro.
