Missing GHC bindist for ghc-9.0.2 #1

Thanks for this script! I tried running it on a void linux (glibc) in a VM and it failed with the error in the attached screenshot. I searched the internet, but since I'm no Haskell expert, I didn't find anything I could really act on.

Any hints gratefully received.

This PR helped me make progress. Before running the script, issue:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.6

I gather an alternative solution to the symlink above is to install ncurses-libtinfo-libs.

Note that I got xmonad working, but I had to add ~/.local/bin to my path before running startx.

I'll leave this issue open as documentation for others who run into this problem.
