This is the only one I tried. I don't use Haskell otherwise, I just wanted
to build this one program. However, searching suggests this error is to be
expected if you have a dynamically-built system, and suggested adding
"-dynamic". As far as I can see, that's a matter of the GHC installation,
not of the program being compiled, since I was working in this instance
with a single .lhs source file.

There might be differences in Ubuntu's toolchain.


Not according to the changelog, but of course it could be something unknown!
