#7375: Building ghc fails because it is looking for an old version of libgmp ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: mimosa | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Compiler Version: 7.4.2 | Keywords: Os: Linux | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: Building GHC failed | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: 5743 | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Haskell requires libgmp.so.3 but that is ancient.
I'm not sure if this occurs with more recent versions of ghc, but even if it has been fixed in those, it's a serious problem because things like xmonad and haskell-platform require earlier versions of ghc. This looks similar to #5743. libffi is the culprit there. Not a problem witht he latest version of ghc (I tested it to see if it would work with xmonad) but I think the libgmp issue is. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7375> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list Glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
