Description

The ghc-7.2.1-x86_64-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 download currently provided (http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_7_2_1) links against libgmp.so.3 . OpenSuSE has libgmp.so.4 and libgmp.so.10, so linking against either of those would make installation a bit simpler. Thanks in advance!

The bindists are built on a Debian stable system, and unfortunately it is not possible to make them work everywhere. If they don't work on your distribution then you will need to either use binaries built for that distribution, or build from source.
