Package request: gmp, so that it is *possible* to get Haskell Stack to work in Void aarch64.

Package name

GNU GMP Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library

Description

I'm trying to learn Haskell,

and Haskell Stack ( required by "Haskell Programming From 1st Principles" ) REQUIRES that this be installed & comprehensible.

Which is the problem.

As gmp isn't available through xbps, I installed it as root, and that didn't work, unfortunately...

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22cannot+find%22+%22lgmp%22+error&t=fpas&ia=web

..and you can see the error that I ( & others, in other contexts ) are having.

I'm not competent-enough in geeking to crack this one, without maybe a half-month of digging ( I don't have the requisite understanding, and I'm slow, due to lots of brain injury ), so I'm asking for Void-community's help in this.

Please make Haskell Stack installABLE, see?

( actually, I should perhaps be requesting Haskell Stack, itself, instead of the missing prerequisite for it?

BOTH, please!! : )

IF gmp is required for Haskell Stack, THEN I'm presuming it's also required for the other method for installing Haskell, the Haskell Platform method, which I think is GHCup...

Please help us learners "get in" to the learning, even if we're limited to living-in aarch64!

Salut, Namaste, Kaizen, & gratitude, too, eh?
