Title Body

I am trying to install the Haskell Platform on Linux for the first time (I'm also a fairly new Linux user). The victim system is a fresh Red Hat system. And everything involved here should be 64 bit. The directions at the platform website [1] indicate that I need a ghc7.0.3 to boostrap things. They provide a link to a generic binary of ghc-7.0.3 to do this. I fetched this and ran $ ./configure ... $ make install ... as per the directions without incident (it is a binary, so no compilation needed) However, when I tried to run ghci I get the output. $ ghci GHCi, version 7.0.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done. Loading package integer-gmp ... <command line>: can't load .so/.DLL for: gmp (libgmp.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) For some reason ghci cannot find libgmp.so. Running ghci ultimately invokes /usr/local/lib/ghc-7.0.3/ghc with a mess of options. I checked the dependencies via ldd $ ldd /usr/local/lib/ghc-7.0.3/ghc linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffe5f5c000) libncursesw.so.5 => /lib64/libncursesw.so.5 (0x0000003ee7000000) librt.so.1 => /lib64/librt.so.1 (0x0000003ee5800000) libutil.so.1 => /lib64/libutil.so.1 (0x0000003ef3000000) libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x0000003ee5000000) libgmp.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libgmp.so.3 (0x0000003ee4400000) libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x0000003ee4c00000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x0000003ee5400000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000003ee4800000) libtinfo.so.5 => /lib64/libtinfo.so.5 (0x0000003ef3400000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000003ee4000000) and it shows that it foud libgmp. libgmp is in /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/lib64. I am not sure how to get further with this. Any suggestions?
