Has anyone installed the OS X binary distribution? I get: "utils/ghc-cabal/dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-cabal-bindist" copy libraries/ghc-prim dist-install "strip" '' '/usr/local' '/usr/local/lib/ghc-8.6.1' '/usr/local/share/doc/ghc-8.6.1/html/libraries' 'v p dyn' dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/gmp/lib/libgmp.10.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/src/hs/ghc-8.6.1/libraries/base/dist-install/build/libHSbase-4.12.0.0-ghc8.6.1.dylib Reason: image not found
otool -L on libHSBase indeed shows a reference to /usr/local/opt/gmp/lib/libgmp.10.dylib, which of course doesn't exist, not being a standard location. otool on 8.4.2's libHSBase has no reference to libgmp at all. Both of them have @rpath/libHSinteger-gmp-1.0.2.0-ghc$version.dylib, but perhaps that's just ghc's binding to libgmp. I don't actually know how ghc links libgmp nowadays. Perhaps the usual OS X build statically links libgmp and some flags got wrong for this one and it wound up dynamic?
