stack setup fails with libgmp in nonstandard location

[Stephan Schiffels]

Hi, I am trying to install a package and so far fail in the "stack setup" step. Here is the error:

$ stack setup

The GHC located at /home/ss839/.stack/programs/x86_64-linux/ghc-gmp4-8.0.1/bin/ghc failed to compile a sanity check. Please see:

    http://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/install_and_upgrade/

for more information. Exception was:

Running /home/ss839/.stack/programs/x86_64-linux/ghc-gmp4-8.0.1/bin/ghc /tmp/stack-sanity-check30968/Main.hs -no-user-package-db in directory /tmp/stack-sanity-check30968/ exited with ExitFailure 1

[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( /tmp/stack-sanity-check30968/Main.hs, /tmp/stack-sanity-check30968/Main.o )

Linking /tmp/stack-sanity-check30968/Main ...

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgmp

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

`gcc' failed in phase `Linker'. (Exit code: 1)

The problem is that libgmp is in a non-standard location: /opt/gmp-6.1.1/lib. I know how I can point "stack build" to that location, using --extra-lib-dirs. But there doesn't seem to be such an option for stack setup, is there?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Stephan

Sorry, but does someone know any help here?

Does setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH fix the problem?
