Is it possible to install the Haskell Platform on CentOS?

Question

I'm running CentOS 5.5 and I want to install the Haskell Platform there. According to haskell.org CentOS is not supported at all (http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/linux.html). Does anyone know if it is possible to setup Haskell on CentOS 5.5? I searched the web but could not find any relevant information myself.

Try compiling from source. This is the recommended way to install the Haskell platform when there is no binary package for your OS. This guy was able to build it for CentOS 5.2.
