#896: cabal install cabal-install fails if gcc not in /Developer/usr/bin/gcc ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: jeremyw.sherman | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.8.0.2 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: Mac OS | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by duncan): Hmm. Vanilla cabal just looks for gcc on the $PATH. It's plausible this is a customisation by the OSX Haskell Platform package, but if so I wasn't aware and I can't see how it's doing it. You're sure the file /Developer/usr/bin/gcc does not exist? It's odd since if one used --with- gcc=/Developer/usr/bin/gcc then it checks if it exists before it gets round to actually executing it, so we'd get a different error message. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/896#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
