Comment(by simonpj):

 Maybe the bug in `hmatrix` configure is that it only works with an
 installed compiler, or one in your PATH (rather than one specified with
 `--with-ghc`).  Alberto, might you fix this?

 So I followed your path but `./Setup configure` fell over again
 {{{

  *** Sorry, I can't link GSL.

 }}}
 So I hacked `configure.hs` manually to ignore the GSL stuff. Success.  I
 can reproduce the error.
