As per the Haskell Platform website you need ghc 7.4.2 to use haskell-platform-2012.4.0.0.
On Ubuntu 13.04 you can't install ghc 7.4.2 using apt-get as the repository only allows you to install ghc 7.6*.
Start with installing some dependencies using apt-get:
$> sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev freeglut3 freeglut3-dev
And download ghc 7.4.2 bundle from here.
Extract it and run:
$> cd <extracted folder of ghc 7.4.2>
$> ./configure
It will fail and the solution is discussed here.
$> sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmp.so.10 /usr/lib/libgmp.so.3
$> ./configure && make install
That should lead to successful installation of ghc 7.4.2.
Now Haskell Platform:
Download Haskell Platform from here.
Extract it and run:
$> cd <extracted folder of haskell-platform 2012.4.0.0>
$> ./configure
$> make
$> make install
All set. Now get back to hacking! :)
