Re: first version of RC2 has problems with lack of dynamic libraries at least on the Mac

Thanks George. Since this might be confusing for users, I'll add a note to to the release notes about requiring Cabal 1.18 for GHC to work properly. On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 8:13 AM, George Colpitts wrote:

Thanks for everybody's help. I got the latest versions of cabal, installed the "early" version of RC2 and then cabal install vector worked

I am sad. How do I uninstall the current version I have and install that version?

Thanks

you need cabal-install 1.18 or you'll be sad.

I'm using Cabal-1.18.1.3 and cabal-install version 1.16.0.2

Thanks. Another question is what version of Cabal you are using, as it knows how to build dylibs properly. I'm using cabal 1.18.

To delete the RC, you can just delete the directory it installed into (the GHC-7.8.xxxxx folder). Also make sure you remove the executables from $PATH

And no worries about any unnecessary work. I'm here to do the release after all, and feedback is helpful!

Probably my error, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a problem that was missed. Thanks for checking. Sorry for any confusion I caused.

Here are the details of what I did:

I took ghc-7.8.0.20140226-x86_64-apple-darwin-mavericks.tar.bz2 from http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.8.1-rc2/ and followed the instructions in the INSTALL file to install it, i.e.

One possible difference is that my gcc is gcc-4.8 from gnu not gcc from Apple.

Also my uname output is different than yours:

uname -a Darwin iMac27-5.local 13.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 13.1.0: Thu Jan 16 19:40:37 PST 2014; root:xnu-2422.90.20~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

Finally I am running XCode 5.2

Is there a to uninstall or clean these RCs?

I'll wait for official notice before trying anything else

I really appreciate all your work and I'm sorry if I caused you any unnecessary work. I had no problems installing RC1 so may have been overconfident

I just tested this and cannot reproduce it:

There is certainly a dylib available for both of these libraries. You're going to need to be very explicit in what you did to install GHC, and how. (Did you use the binary distribution I pulled from the server?)* Unfortunately I'm about to run out the door, and don't have time for the next few hours closely investigate.

* On another note, I will say that there is not an 'RC2' until I announce that it is so, to be completely honest. Right this second, some last minute fixes went into HEAD which will be merged for the actual RC2. Otherwise I would have released it today. But thank you for testing anyway!
