## Known problems
### Precompiled binaries
Since this uses precompiled binaries you may run into
problems with ncurses and missing libtinfo, in case
your distribution doesn't use the legacy way of building
ncurses and has no compatibility symlinks in place.
Ask your distributor on how to solve this.
### Compilation
Although this script can compile GHC for you, it's just a very thing
wrapper around the build system. It makes no effort in trying
to figure out whether you have the current toolchain and
the correct dependencies. Refer to [the official docs](https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Preparation/Linux)
on how to prepare your environment for building GHC.
