I never  tried  NetBSD, however my initial thought was to install FreeBSD. Unfortunately FreeBSD installer did not pick up the built-in SATA controller and therefore I couldn't install it. OpenBSD installed withouth a hitch. No need to run Linux packages, they all have native ghc and many other related packages. The issue I asked about is not present on OpenBSD amd64 port.

Good day all,

I installed OpenBSD 5.5 in order to learn haskell. There are a few glitches however. I installed the haskell-platform meta-package and the issues I noticed are: - hs-vector wouldn't install - ghci wouldn't start, the message: unable to load package `integer-gmp'

Has anyone experienced the same issue? Is this happening on OpenBSD 5.4? Is this OpenBSD specific?

Thanks in advance.
