[Haskell-cafe] cabal build on mac os 10.5.6 , can't find gmp

Hi,

Cabal won't build zlib because it can't find libgmp.

It's there, in /sw/lib (fink installation).

I've modified the bootstrap script and added -L/sw/lib to the ghc  
options.  This is a mystery in itself because ghc is itself a fink  
package and should know where gmp is, so that's already a bad sign.

I can get to the build step with the additional -L option but then ./ 
Setup fails again because it can't find gmp.

Help  .... ?

Thanks,

Brian
