Under Solaris: GHC 6.10.2 Release Candidate 1
GHC 6.10.2 will have a problem with cabal-install-0.6.2!
When I tried to install cabal-install-0.6.2 for ghc-6.10.1.20090314
I needed to change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash in bootstrap.sh to avoid the
following errors:
-bash-3.00$ ./bootstrap.sh
Checking installed packages for ghc-6.10.1.20090314...
./bootstrap.sh: !: not found
parsec is already installed and the version is ok.
./bootstrap.sh: !: not found
network is already installed and the version is ok.
./bootstrap.sh: !: not found
Cabal is already installed and the version is ok.
./bootstrap.sh: !: not found
HTTP is already installed and the version is ok.
./bootstrap.sh: !: not found
zlib is already installed and the version is ok.
./bootstrap.sh: !: not found
./bootstrap.sh: !: not found
./bootstrap.sh: !: not found
Under Solaris sh is not bash!
Next, ghc-6.10.1.20090314 comes with package unix-2.4.0.0, but
cabal-install.cabal requests:
unix >= 2.0 && < 2.4
Changing to "<= 2.4" was not sufficient, so I changed it to "<= 2.5".
This will affect any OS!
Testsuite results are bad for ghc-6.10.1.20090314, see
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3106

Indeed. According to the OpenGroup that syntax should be fine: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_09_02 It works for me under Solaris 10. Perhaps Solaris 9 or older do not have a standard compliant /bin/sh program. What do you suggest we use instead as a workaround? > Next, ghc-6.10.1.20090314 comes with package unix-2.4.0.0, but > cabal-install.cabal requests: > > unix >= 2.0 && < 2.4 > > Changing to "<= 2.4" was not sufficient, so I changed it to "<= 2.5". > This will affect any OS! Hmm, it's a bit suspicious that the major version number is changing in a minor ghc release. Do we know what the API breakage is? This could affect any program.

Indeed.

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_09_02
It works for me under Solaris 10. Perhaps Solaris 9 or older do not
have
a standard compliant /bin/sh program. What do you suggest we use
instead
as a workaround?
For backward compatibility reasons sh in Solaris 9 and earlier is not
POSIX compliant. Use /usr/xpg4/bin/sh or /bin/bash instead.
(Unfortunately you can't cheat and define a shell function, although
you could create a program called "!":
#! /bin/sh
if ${1+"$@"}; then
exit 1
else
exit 0
fi
.)

Btw I had this problem under Solaris 10 (but I don't know how it was installed).

Actually this is what the script used 'til someone pointed out to me
that sh has the ! syntax :-). I'll switch it back to using this style
with a note to say why.

Do we know what the API breakage is? This could > affect any program. This looks like a braino to me. Things have been added to the API, but I don't see anything that's been removed or change. I'll put the version number back to 2.3.2.0. Thanks Ian ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
