HaXml does not use the Gnu Multi-Precision library directly.
This is most likely a known ghc/Linux problem. From the ghc
bugs page:
Linking a program causes the following error on Linux:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open -lgmp: No such file or directory
The problem is that your system doesn't have the GMP library
installed. If this is a RedHat distribution, install the
RedHat-supplied gmp-devel package, and the gmp package if you don't
already have it. There have been reports that installing the RedHat
packages also works for SuSE (SuSE don't supply a shared gmp
library).
