we provide everything - including GMP.
So as perl and libiconv? Perl is no longer part of the base system on
FreeBSD, so it cannot be taken available. The iconv library is also a
requirement on some platforms (like FreeBSD) that you do not have in-tree,
at least as far as I know.
Of course the Ports Collection can handle this issues, but I think you are
referring to the case when the user wants to install GHC from sources (or
from vanilla bindists) without being aware of the ports.
> The patch has been pushed, so changing the ticket state back to "new",
as the underlying problem with the in-tree GMP still needs to be fixed,
it's perhaps not as urgent as before though.
Ok, thank you.
