General summary/comments (optional)

I am trying to install JuicyPixels-3.2.9.5 using stack install, the process failed with can't load .so/.DLL for: libgmp.so. The nature of my working environment requires me to install linux libraries at unconventional location with linuxbrew. I did included both library path and include path where libgmp.so exists using --extra-lib-dirs and --extra-include-dirs, the error persisted anyway.

Steps to reproduce

PATH=~/.linuxbrew/bin:$PATH stack install JuicyPixels-3.2.9.5 --with-gcc ~/.linuxbrew/bin/gcc --extra-lib-dirs=~/.linuxbrew/lib --extra-include-dirs=~/.linuxbrew/include

shengc@ work $ ls ~/.linuxbrew/lib | grep libgmp
libgmp.a
libgmp.so
libgmp.so.10
libgmp.so.10.3.2
libgmpxx.a
libgmpxx.so
libgmpxx.so.4
libgmpxx.so.4.5.2

Output:

Hi @shengc,

Would you please paste your stack.yaml file and the output of the same command you ran but with the -v flag?

[shengc]

@dbaynard
Thanks a lot for your response. I was trying to build this project: https://github.com/bravit/hid-examples

It is obvious that stack insisted looking for the that lib in /lib64, and given the fact there is libgmp.so.10 but not libgmp.so in the same directory, it crapped out. Problem is I don't have the root privilege, otherwise I could just create a symlink there. My question is, since I do have a local installation of libgmp.so at $HOME/.linuxbrew/lib, is it possible to let stack pick up that dependency directly from there ?

[dbaynard]

It should be. It would be really helpful to see the logs from the attempted installation.

This should be addressed by #4651. Closing as fixed, if there is still a problem, please comment.
