[Haskell-cafe] building the unix package and cabal

[Galchin Vasili]

Hi Ian,

     Should gmp-devel be an archive (.a) or a shared object (.so)? If an .a,
don't I have to have an environemmt var to point at it's directory?
I tried your sequence below on unix-2.2.0.0 and still cannot resolve "gmp".
I did find one gmp .rpm on one of the RHEL cds but without "-devel".

Regards, Vasili
