GHC requires gmp-devel package

[vinnyA3]

System

• xuname:
  Void 4.19.26_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel notuptodate rFFF
• package: stack-1.9.3_1

Expected behavior

With stack installed, I expect to be able to run stack ghci to run the interpreter.

Actual behavior

Receiving the following error:

GHCi, version 8.6.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Configuring GHCi with the following packages:
<command line>: can't load .so/.DLL for: libgmp.so (libgmp.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

Steps to reproduce the behavior

• stack ghci

---

Note:

• In order to get stack to install, I needed to create a libcurses symlink - issue: No setup information found for GHC #7403
• Installing the gmp-devel package ultimately solved the issue

This shouldn't require the -devel version of the package, no? Since you aren't building ghc, you're installing a bindist
