 Currently it's not possible to run GHC or its installer. It fails with:

 {{{
 ghc: error while loading shared libraries:
     libgmp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
 }}}

 The problem is that the current Debian stable is Wheezy and it uses a
 newer version of libgmp.

 Proposed solution: Recompile on a recent Debian stable (Wheezy).

 Applies to x86_64 as well, most likely all architectures supported by
 Debian are affected.
