GHC comes with a number of libraries. These are
described in separate documentation.
+
+ Obtaining GHC
+
+ Go to the GHC home
+ page and follow the "download" link to download GHC
+ for your platform.
+
+ Alternatively, if you want to build GHC yourself, head on
+ over to the
+ GHC
+ Building Guide to find out how to get the sources, and
+ build it on your system. Note that GHC itself is written in
+ Haskell, so you will still need to install GHC in order to
+ build it.
