 When I tries to install the vector library on Linux, GHC 7.7 cannot find a
 necessary primitive library:

 {{{
 % cabal install vector
 ...
 [ 5 of 19] Compiling Data.Vector.Fusion.Stream.Monadic (
 Data/Vector/Fusion/Stream/Monadic.hs,
 dist/build/Data/Vector/Fusion/Stream/Monadic.o )
 Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
 Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done.
 Loading package base ... linking ... done.
 Loading package primitive-0.5.0.1 ... <command line>: can't load .so/.DLL
 for: libHSprimitive-0.5.0.1.so (libHSprimitive-0.5.0.1.so: cannot open
 shared object file: No such file or directory)
 cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
 vector-0.10.0.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
 ExitFailure 1
 }}}

 Note that static library of primitive is installed but dynamic one is not.
