Comment:
It is probably the case that some of the distributions on
`http://www.haskell.org/ghc` depend on `libgmp.so.3`, which I have on my
systems because I have older GHC binaries that depend on it. Newer
releases shouldn't depend on `libgmp.so.3` though - I just checked and my
current builds aren't depending on it.
In any case, on Linux the best place to get GHC from is your distro, which
will have a GHC correctly built for whatever is the right GMP version on
your system. On Ubuntu 12.04 for example, the `ghc` package depends on
`libgmp.so.10`.
