haskell-platform-2011.4.0.0.tar.gz
is downloaded to <username>/Software and extracted to

Install the Haskell Platform to
/opt/haskell-platform-2011.4.0.0
The Haskell compiler is installed first from the directory
~/Software/ghc-7.0.4
to
/opt/haskell-platform-2011.4.0.0
As all needed libraries are in place already, everything goes easy:
