I'm not sure what the exact problem is, but I'm guessing that using ghc 6
with our latest release would require more changes than the -rtsopts
argument. ghc differences across releases make it very difficult for us
to support multiple versions, so we try to stick with a fairly recent
one. 

My advice would be to install the ghc version we currently use. Versions
7.4.1 and 7.4.2 (thanks to Wang Nan) should work without problems

cheers,
Kornilios.
