#685: cabal install does not work when /tmp/ is mounted "noexec" ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by duncan): * version: 1.6.0.3 => HEAD * component: Cabal library => cabal-install tool Comment: The problem is very likely that /tmp is mounted noexec, see ticket #696. The log is consistent with this, the failure happens when trying to run the setup program. We should determine if Ubuntu 10.04 is now always using a /tmp mounted "noexec" since if that is the case we will need to use a different temp directory. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/685#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
