installs fine on mac but cabal install vector fails on primitive, looks to me like gmp library is not provided
cabal install vector Resolving dependencies... Configuring primitive-0.6.1.0... Failed to install primitive-0.6.1.0 Build log ( /Users/gcolpitts/.cabal/logs/primitive-0.6.1.0.log ): cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: primitive-0.6.1.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was: user error ('/usr/local/bin/ghc' exited with an error: ld: library not found for -lgmp collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status `gcc' failed in phase `Linker'. (Exit code: 1) ) vector-0.11.0.0 depends on primitive-0.6.1.0 which failed to install.
I found a different problem installing vector on Ubuntu precise (12.04LTS): $ cabal install vector ... Installed primitive-0.6.1.0 Configuring vector-0.11.0.0... ... Data/Vector/Generic/Mutable/Base.hs:18:1: error: Bad interface file: /home/asr/.cabal/lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-8.0.0.20160111/primitive-0.6.1.0-6R7Tzfc83qM6k1j6TLqRai/Control/Monad/Primitive.hi Something is amiss; requested module primitive-0.6.1.0@primitive-0.6.1.0-de94d43ed2b084399e39dfe5a3f60217:Control.Monad.Primitive differs from name found in the interface file primi_6R7Tzfc83qM6k1j6TLqRai:Control.Monad.Primitive Failed to install vector-0.11.0.0 I have found the same "Bad interface file" problem installing other packages.
