cabal: error while loading shared libraries: libHSzlib-0.5.4.1-ghc7.6.3.so

I've done a fresh install of the Haskell platform on CentOS 7, like so:

[amy@wombat115 ~]$ sudo yum install haskell-platform
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, product-id, subscription-manager
This system is not registered with Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.

Complete!

But I get the following error:

[amy@wombat115 ~]$ cabal update
cabal: error while loading shared libraries: libHSzlib-0.5.4.1-ghc7.6.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have tried the following, to no effect:

sudo yum reinstall ghc-zlib-devel
sudo yum reinstall zlib-devel
sudo yum reinstall ghc-ghc-devel

EDIT: I have also tried the following:

sudo yum reinstall ghc-zlib-devel-0.5.4.1
sudo yum reinstall ghc-zlib-devel-0.5.4.1-26.el7
sudo yum reinstall cabal-install
sudo yum reinstall ghc-Cabal

EDIT: If yum whatprovides libHSzlib*ghc* is to be believed, ghc-zlib-devel installs libHSzlib-0.5.4.1-ghc7.6.3.so. However, the only file find / -name 'libHSzlib*.so' returns islibHSzlib-0.5.4.1-ghc7.8.3.so` (note the 8 vs. 6).

Here's how I solved the problem:

First, I installed ghc manually.

wget https://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.8.4/ghc-7.8.4-i386-unknown-linux-deb7.tar.xz
tar xvf ghc-7.8.4-i386-unknown-linux-deb7.tar.xz 
cd ghc-7.8.4
sudo mkdir /usr/local/ghc-7.8.4
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ghc-7.8.4

NOTE: Even though the version I installed was made on a Debian 7 "wheezey" system and supposedly only requires libgmp.so.10, I got error messages about libgmp.so.3. I worked around that by doing the following, which I know is a bad thing to do:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libgmp.so.10 /usr/lib64/libgmp.so.3

Next, I tried installing the Haskell Platform manually, using the command:

./platform.sh /home/amy/ghc-7.8.3-x86_64-unknown-linux-deb7.tar.xz

but I got the now familiar error messages about libHSzlib-0.5.4.1-ghc7.6.3.so.

So I manually installed cabal.

git clone https://github.com/haskell/cabal.git
cd cabal/Cabal
ghc -threaded --make Setup
./Setup configure
./Setup build
sudo ./Setup install
cd ../cabal-install
./bootstrap.sh
