Re: [Haskell-beginners] Can't install json-.0.4.4 - memory allocation failed

Updating GHC by building it from source seemed to to the trick. I was then able to install the latest pandoc and dependencies. It was suggested I install GHC 7.4.2 rather than 7.6.* so that's what I did. Thanks, Dan On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 3:24 PM, Dan Tenenbaum wrote:

It's not a PPC machine, it's an Intel Machine. The only Haskell Platform installer for Mac OS 10.5 that I have found is at the bottom of: http://www.haskell.org/platform/mac.html It's labeled 2010.2.0.0.

I don't think I have any old port installations hanging out messing things up (though I'll doublecheck). For one thing, /opt/local (where port installs things) is not in the PATH. I've never used brew on this machine,

I tried passing some parameters to use the compacting collector, and to set the heap size, as suggested by this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13479538/cant-install-json-0-4-4-memory-a...

Unfortunately I get the same results (I set heap size to 4095MB, the largest I'm allowed to set it). Doesn't seem to matter whether the compacting collector is used or not.

OSX 10.5.8 isn't THAT old. You can definitely get a Haskell Platform 7.x

PPC might be, though.
