Re: [Haskell-beginners] Q 2 of 2: GUI and turnkey compiler?

Whatever he said. All I know is that the last time I copied a binary across to another box it failed with a "missing libgmp.so" message! Beware!! On 31 May 2013 15:13, Brandon Allbery wrote:

I tried that too... but I think I fell foul to a missing library for the arbitrary length arithmetic. can't remember the name of it off-hand though.

libgmp? I think there are ways to make that get statically linked as well, although various platforms (Debian derivatives, mostly) strongly discourage doing this, to the extent that they modify their packaged ghc to force a dependency on the system gmp library (and, somewhat ironically, are also the ones most prone to having no or an incompatible version installed at runtime).
