[Haskell-cafe] haskell platform questions

2010-03-17 Thread Warren Harris
I installed haskell platform some time ago, and now I'm wondering what version I have. How do I find out? Also, when the new one comes along on the 21st, is there a way to upgrade? Or if I must first uninstall the one I have now, how do I uninstall it? Is it recommended to periodically up

I'm also on Mac Leopard. I tried installing ghc 6.12 with Haskell Platform 2009.2.9.2-i386.dmg (ghc 6.10.4) for some reason, and ran into a bunch of problems (problems to me, anyway). I ended up uninstalling 6.12 and reinstalling haskell platform. Uninstall is easy, there is an uninstaller scrip

You should file a bug on the Haskell Platform bug tracker. http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell_Platform#Trouble_shooting And I'm CC'ing the dmg maintainer -- it may also be a GHC issue as well. -- Don warrensomebody: > I downloaded the new haskell-platform-2010.1.0.0-i386.dmg today... ra

It's a known issue, and it's mine. If you (naively) just expect to link on Snow Leopard without passing any special backwards- compatibility flags, and have things work on Leopard, well, Apple has news for you. gcc -mmacox-version-min=10.5.8 ? Regards, Malcolm

FWIW, downloading the haskell-platform-2010.1.0.0 tarball and building it on my 10.5.8 system (with ghc 6.12.1 installed from the dmg) worked just fine. Didn't take too long either. Unfortunately I don't see any telltale linker options in the build logs. Warren On Mar 26, 2010, at 7:38 AM
