Hi,
[thomas@... ~] $ ./count count.hs count: timer_create: Invalid argument [thomas@... ~]$
What does this error message mean? And why does it occur? Other programs that I written and compiled on my computer worked just fine on the other. I run Arch Linux and I am using GHC 6.10.3, the other computer is a RedHat 3.
Do other Haskell programmes compiled with ghc-6.10.3 on Arch run on Red Hat 3? I think the timer_create is called during initialisation of the run-time, for +RTS -sstderr and such, probably RH3 has an older timer_create which doesn't like the passed argument. Then no ghc-compiled programme from Arch should run on RH3, nor should C programmes using timer_create with like arguments.
Cheers, Thomas
