The package I am most immediately interested in is a compiler for a
functional language. I would prefer a Haskell compiler, but any language
supporting lazy evaluation would be a nice start. If anyone has ported
Haskell (Chalmers, Glasgow, or Yale - I won't be picky) to Linux, I'd
like to be able to get a binary distribution if possible, or the modified
source if not. Lazy ML would be nice if I can't find Haskell.

There are two that I know of. Gofer is similar to Haskell, but lacks
a few features and includes a few extra features. It's a very nice
environment and includes both an interpreter and rudimentary compiler.
I've compiled it under Linux and it works fine. (including "-ansi" as
a CFLAG in the Makefile helps a lot)
Also, binaries are available for hbc, the Haskell B compiler out of
Chalmers. It works wonderfully, but requires >11meg of RAM just
for itself.

===========================================
LML/HBC
(Lazy ML/Haskell B Compiler)
Version 0.999.2 for the i386/i486 running Linux, January 1993
This is a port of the Chalmers Lazy ML and Haskell Functional
Language Compilers for Linux.
__ WHERE TO GET
The Linux version is available via ftp from
ftp.dcs.glasgow.ac.uk
Login as "anonymous". Look at the directory "pub/linux".
You have to get just the file "lml-0.999.2-linux.tar.Z".
This file contains the binaries needed to execute LML/HBC.
