This works for me, with GHC 6.8.2 and
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/unix/2.2.0.0/unix-2.2.0.0.tar.gz

$ ghc --make Setup
$ ./Setup configure --user
$ ./Setup build

If it's not working for you then you might need a RHEL package called
something like gmp-devel. If that doesn't fix it, please send us the
exact commands you are running and the complete output.

Note that you wouldn't normally compile the unix package yourself,
however, as it is one of the packages that comes with GHC.


Thanks
