Unfortunately  installing the lib did not fix the issue: pkg_info | grep gmp gmp-5.0.2p2         library for arbitrary precision arithmetic ghci GHCi, version 7.6.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done. Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... ghc: /usr/local/lib/ghc/integer-gmp-0.5.0.0/HSinteger-gmp-0.5.0.0.o: unhandled ELF relocation(Rel) type 10 One way to rectify the issue is apparently to installed OpenBSD for x64, which I will do if I don't find fix soon.

This happens when the package system doesn't correctly pick them up, or when I install HP from outside the package system. The usual fix (on Linux, anyway) is to install the appropriate dev package to go with gmp. If OpenBSD hasn't yet succumbed to the idiocy of dev packages, it's possible the gmp library itself is missing. I suspect similar issues with hs-vector: there's some dependency missing in the package system description. On Tue, May 20, 2014 at 2:40 PM, Michael S wrote:

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.

That was what I did.  ghci works  on the amd64  port. Thanks! Tha On Friday, May 23, 2014 1:32:02 PM, Dawe wrote: On May 20, 2014 12:40, Michael S wrote:

Known problem with ghci on OpenBSD 5.5 i386. If you can, try amd64. You should be fine there. If you can't, 5.4 i386 was ok, iirc.
