Install Haskell on 12.04

Asked by Rohith Kumar

Hi,

I was trying to install Haskell from this link https://gist.github.com/1524859
Got this issue in it.
After this step $ cd ghc-7.0.4

:~/ghc-7.0.4$ ./configure
checking for path to top of build tree... ./configure: line 1792: utils/ghc-pwd/dist/build/tmp/ghc-pwd: cannot execute binary file
configure: error: cannot determine current directory

I have ubuntu 12.04.

Kindly help what to do

Is there a reason why you don't install via package manager from official repo?
sudo apt-get install haskell-platform

If insisting on source installation try version GHC 7.4.1 from home page instead of an outdated git.
