I am trying to install Haskell framework on this server.

- Installation for GHC went ok. no error
- Installed ghc-7.4.1 from "ghc-7.4.1-x86_64-unknown-linux.tar"

then while trying to install (in configure step) Haskell platform version
2012.2.0.0.

I get following error:

[root at qa-engine1 haskell-platform-2012.2.0.0]# ./configure

configure: error: Your installation of ghc does not appear to work.
  It cannot compile a simple program (see config.log for the details).
  If you installed ghc from a generic binary tarball then it is worth
  checking that you have the 'gmp' C library and header files installed.
  (On Debian-based systems this package is called libgmp3-dev.)
====================================

I have made sure that libc and gmp are indeed installed.

while trying use yum to make sure I have gmp installed.
====================================
[root at qa-engine1 haskell-platform-2012.2.0.0]# yum install gmp

Setting up Install Process
Package gmp-4.3.1-7.el6_2.2.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
========================================


Any help is appreciated.


Btw, I could make haskell latest version work on my mac osx.
