Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell-Cafe Digest, Vol 207, Issue 16

It may be that you have a dependency of this specific test (or the test itself) that has the following stanza in its Cabal file: "extra-libraries: gmp"
Thanks, makes sense. Any shortcuts to try and find which package has gmp enabled? Interestingly this problem doesn't happen with ghc-8.6.5. Does build order decide on if this issue is triggered or not? -Sumit

You may grep for "gmp" in your "package.conf.d". A usual suspect is "bitvec" which has a "libmp" flag that you can disable.

I don't think so. My guess would be that using 8.6.5 changes the build plan (e.g. earlier versions of "bitvec" didn't explicitly link with gmp). Cheers, Sylvain
