I'm trying to install IHaskell in jupyter, directly from instructions here.

I ran the following.

sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip git libtinfo-dev libzmq3-dev libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libmagic-dev libblas-dev liblapack-dev 
git clone https://github.com/gibiansky/IHaskell
cd IHaskell
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
stack install gtk2hs-buildtools
# stack install --fast
# ihaskell install --stack
# jupyter labextension install ihaskell_jupyterlab

I got this error on the 5th command above, the gtk2hs-buildtools one:

(envname) me@machine:~/plc/IHaskell$ stack install gtk2hs-buildtools

Some searching told me cannot find -lgmp is solved by:

$ sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev

I did this. This installed successfully, but

(envname) me@machine:~/plc/IHaskell$ stack install gtk2hs-buildtools

Still produces the same error. What's wrong and how do I fix it?

Update from scinart's suggestion

$ conda install gmp

Darn, same error as before.

So, from this, you can see I had the gmp package installed, and in fact had had a higher version. The issue seems to be that gmp cannot be found by the linker for some reason (even though it is there), so reinstalling gmp will not help.

So, the problem is that /home/me/anaconda3/.../gcc/7.3.0/bin/ld: cannot find -lgmp

According to conda document

the compilers and linkers do not look for system headers and libraries

it is recommended to use conda to install them. We are actively working to make sure that conda-forge also provides these tools.

The homepage of conda-forge is https://conda-forge.org, usage is

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda install gmp

This gmp is the same version as debian/sid libgmp3-dev, and it should build libgmp.so, see this

Hopefully it will work.
