-== NOTE ==
-unfortunately, many haskell libaries arn't tested very well, so building
-libraries from hackage can be a very painful trip.

-a system configuration we had success building all required
-libraries (yes, no x86_64 so far!):

+== DEPENDENCIES ==
+Install GHC via your distro manager. Make sure you install it with shared
+libaries. On ubuntu 12.04 LTS that is:
+ $ sudo apt-get install ghc-dynamic
+
+For an "easy" installation of the remaining packages, you can use
+the script in "./tools/installhaskellenv.sh".
+PLEASE NOTE: it deletes your ~/.cabal and ~/.ghc directory first in order to get
+a fresh cabal install!
