[Haskell-cafe] Horray, a ghc bug!

[Andreas Abel]

Hi, I tried the 64bit binary packages from

   haskell.org/ghc

but I got a complaint that

   libgmp.so.3

is not found on my system (and locate did not reveal it).  I have 
several of these libgmp.so, but apparently not the right one

locate libgmp.so

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/openssl-1.0.0/engines/libgmp.so
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ssl/engines/libgmp.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmp.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmp.so.10
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmp.so.10.0.2
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openssl-1.0.0/engines/libgmp.so

Here I already gave up.  Since compiling from source worked, I did not 
investigate further...

Cheers,
Andreas

Ah, that is useful information.  Thanks!
