Hello, Version 6.12.1-3.1 of ghc still has a hidden dependency on gmp, even though it's built with integer-simple.
% pacman -Qo /usr/lib/ghc-6.12.1/unlit /usr/lib/ghc-6.12.1/unlit is owned by ghc 6.12.1-3.1 % ldd /usr/lib/ghc-6.12.1/unlit| grep not\ found libgmp.so.3 => not found
This version of ghc will build simple packages, but will fail when trying to rebuild ghc itself. I suppose there's some sort of bug in the GHC makefile that cause libgmp to be linked against libgmp whatever integer library is in use? Matt
