I would suggest to only copy libgmp.a and gmp.h, because the file to
edit it <prefix>/lib/ghc-6.10.1/package.conf. Search for (package) "rts"
and the fields "libraryDirs" and "includeDirs". But if you mess up this
file, all may be lost (so back it up first).

I'm not sure what configure options to pass (before my building or your
installing)
