Maybe you're missing the gmp library?

Try installing libgmp-dev.

Thanks a Lot sjakobi ....yes the same prob was there and now its ok after installing "libgmp-dev".

Problem Solved thanks again for quick response !!

[sjakobi]

@DeepakKapiswe: Can you tell me what operating system you use and in which way you installed stack?

If you installed stack through a package repository, the package should have had a dependency on libgmp-dev.

[DeepakKapiswe]

I use debian 8.2 32 bit
and I Installed stack by downloading .deb files.

@DeepakKapiswe Where did you find a 32-bit .deb? We only release 64-bit .debs, so it must have come from a third-party.

[DeepakKapiswe]

Extremely sorry... actually I have downloaded this file stack-1.1.2-linux-i386-gmp4.tar.gz from this link http://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/install_and_upgrade/#linux and just followed the instructions.

[sjakobi]

@borsboom: I think it would be a good idea to list the packages/libraries that are necessary for using stack and ghc in the installation guide.

Alternatively, if there's a good external source, we could have a link to that?!

[borsboom]

I've added the requirements and instructions how to install them on Fedora/CentOS and Debian/Ubuntu to the installation guide.

Awesome! Thanks!
