+
+The short story (if you are installing GHC from a binary dist):
+
+- Decide where you want to install it.
+- Do ./configure --prefix=where-i-want-to-install-it
+- Do make install
+
+That installs everything - the compiler, interactive system,
+libraries, and documentation. At the end of 'make install' you will
+be informed of what you need to add to your PATH, and also the
+location of the documentation.
+
+Linux users: GHCi-5.00 needs libreadline.so.3. Newer Linuxes (SuSE
+7.1, possibly RH 7.X, possibly Mandrake 8.X) only come with
+libreadline.so.4. If you need libreadline.so.3 and only have the .4
+version, you might be able to get things working by making a symbolic
+link from libreadline.so.4 to libreadline.so.3. We tried this on a
+SuSE 7.1 box and it seemed to work.
