GMP is the Gnu multi-precision arithmetic library, which is used
internally by ghc to implement the unbounded Integer type and its
operations.

At a guess, ghc-5.02.3 requires a newer version of the GMP library
than the one you get by default in RedHat 6.1.  Alternatively, it
could be that ghc is not issuing the correct link instructions for
the GMP library.

It might be better to ask about this particular problem on the
glasgow-haskell-bugs list.
