-== DEPENDENCIES ==
-=== HARPY ===
-       $ cabal install harpy
-
-=== HS-JAVA ===
-for `hs-java' a patched build is needed:
-       $ git clone git://wien.tomnetworks.com/hs-java.git
-       $ cd hs-java
-       $ git checkout -t origin/v0.2
-       $ cabal configure; cabal build; cabal install
-hint: for some unknown reason yet, it seems building from source will be easier
-if you first install `hs-java' via cabal (like `harpy' above)
-
-=== CONTROL-MONAD-FAILURE ===
-we had some issues with building this package (it's a dependency of `hs-java').
-If you also encounter problems like this:
-> [3 of 4] Compiling Control.Monad.Exception.Base ( Control/Monad/Exception/Base.hs, dist/build/Control/Monad/Exception/Base.o )
->
-> Control/Monad/Exception/Base.hs:117:60:
->     Not in scope: type constructor or class `WrapFailure'
->
-> Control/Monad/Exception/Base.hs:118:2:
->     `wrapFailure' is not a (visible) method of class `WrapFailure'
-
-then try
-       $ cabal install cabal-install
-       $ export PATH=~/.cabal/bin:$PATH
-after that, try again your previous step (e.g. `cabal install hs-java')
-
+MateVM is i686 (i.e. 32-Bit) only at the moment.
 
-
-== 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

+== 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!
