Hi,
sometimes when I start ghci, I just get a segmentation fault. Sometimes I get
even 15 segmentation faults in a row, and sometimes I can open it many times
and it works each time.
I downloaded the Haskell Platform for Mac, 64Bit, from
http://www.haskell.org/platform/mac.html
I verified the SHA1-Sum, btw.
I tried reinstalling the platform, and I tried deleting the ~/.ghc directory,
but nothing works. I didn't do anything fancy with Haskell, I just downloaded
it yesterday and I didn't tamper with any haskell-files outside of my
home-directory. The only kernel extensions I have installed are the ones from
VMWare Fusion and maybe flux. (i'm not sure if flux involves kernel extensions
or how deeply it messes with the OS.)

Hey,
i did a little search.
it seems like this was already a bug 3 years ago:
http://trac.haskell.org/haskeline/ticket/105
and it reappeared on a Mac in version 7.4.1 8 months ago
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7212
someone has refiled the bug for 7.4.2
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7403
the bug is discussed in communities
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-844842-start-0.html
the 7212 ticket is marked as "wontfix" and the 7403-ticket is marked as
"duplicate". i don't wanna file another bug report, there are already enough of
them.
please, someone fix this bug.
Regards,
Michael

Just a guess, but maybe you could try updating to 10.8.3? I'm pretty sure I've
seen people on the ghc-devel mailing list running 10.8.3 and things work. You
could also try downloading the ghc 7.6.2 binary.

Is there a version 10.8.3?
I downloaded Haskell from the official website at
http://www.haskell.org/platform/ . I followed the one and only "Download" link
on the homepage. The Wikipedia says that 7.6.2 is the newest version although I
cannot find that version on the haskell website. It's hard for me to believe
that the development version would be 3 major version numbers ahead, but maybe
we are talking about different implementations?
Where can I find the latest version?
Regards,
Michael

Sorry, I wasn't clear - I was thinking OS X 10.8.3. Your uname says 10.8.0,
which I now see (after running uname on my 10.7.5 installation, it says darwin
11.4.2) has nothing to do with the version of OS X you're running, so never
mind. What version of OS X *are* you running?
The Haskell Platform comes with ghc 7.4.2. The newest release version of ghc is
actually 7.6.3, and you can find the binary distributions here:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/
The Haskell Platform "ships" with an older version that's been "shaken down" a
little more than the latest-and-greatest ghc. It also comes with a selection of
libraries that have been well-tested. You *can* start with just ghc 7.6.3 and
install the libraries yourself, however. I believe the next Haskell Platform
release (scheduled for May-ish, I think) will have 7.6.3, but don't quote me on
that. Discussions were ongoing last I looked.
I'd suggest downloading and installing the binary for ghc 7.6.3 and see if ghci
runs on that without crashing.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
thanks for you help so far!
I have OX X Snow Leopard with all software updates installed (I checked this
5min ago). My OSX-Version is 10.6.8 . I have downloaded the 64bit version of
GHC.
hmm, this is strange: i downloaded ghc-7.6.3 from
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_7_6_3#macosx_x86_64
i did "./configure" and "sudo make install", but still it seems that I have
version 7.4.2. It turns out that one installer installs into /usr/bin and the
other into /usr/local/bin.
michael@MacMichi:~ $ /usr/local/bin/ghci --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.6.3
michael@MacMichi:~ $ /usr/bin/ghci --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.4.2
michael@MacMichi:~ $ ghci --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.4.2
michael@MacMichi:~ $ which ghci
/usr/bin/ghci
version 7.6.3 still crashes occasionally:
michael@MacMichi:~ $ /usr/local/bin/ghci

Segmentation fault
Maybe it is really this bug that just needs to be fixed and that won't just
disappear on its own?
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7212
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7403
DEBUGGING:
I added an echo line into /usr/local/bin/ghc-7.6.3 so it reads
#!/bin/sh
exedir="/usr/local/lib/ghc-7.6.3"
exeprog="ghc-stage2"
executablename="$exedir/$exeprog"
datadir="/usr/local/share"
bindir="/usr/local/bin"
topdir="/usr/local/lib/ghc-7.6.3"
executablename="$exedir/ghc"
echo "$executablename" -B"$topdir" ${1+"$@"}
exec "$executablename" -B"$topdir" ${1+"$@"}
So I have all the ingredients to start GDB.
