I am getting the compilation error below when building GHC 7.0.4 on RHEL5 
(x86_64) – I configured make to point to ncurses and libgmp. I will appreciated 
pointers on how to work around the issue below. I don’t have root privileges. 
My apologies if this has already been discussed in this forum. I searched for 
the issue but could find only the GHC bug ticket below.

GHC bug ticket: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4374 - it doesn’t 
have description on how to work around the bug.
