rts package in an invalid state
Hi all, I recently compiled and installed ghc 6.10.2 on a clean system. But a 'ghc-pkg check' shows an error with the rts package [1]. A google search advised me to install libffi5. I did this but keep getting the same error. Any ideas? Thanks ... deech [1] http://hpaste.org/fastcgi/hpaste.fcgi/view?id=3630#a3630

Yes, this was it! Thanks for much!

Hi, Just did ghc-pkg check on my system just out of curiosity. Even here I am getting the rts package errors. But I followed the instructions given at the above url to rectify it. To my surprise there is one more such error. It is related to haddock-2.4.2.

I had this problem with the HTTP package. I followed the following steps:
1. Unregister the offending package with 'ghc-pkg unregister <packagename>'
2. Download the package from Hackage
3. Manually compile and install the package
4. Check that the package is in the list with 'ghc-pkg list'
5. Rerun 'ghc-pkg check'
hth,

Thank you. It worked. Instead of downloading the package from hackage I used "cabal install <package>". Now I am not getting that error. I believe that using cabal and manual compilation are equivalent when it comes to package installation. Correct me If am wrong. -raja
