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

I just tested this and cannot reproduce it: $ cabal install vector ... building ... $ ls /Users/a/.cabal/lib/x86_64-osx-ghc-7.8.0.20140226/vector-0.10.9.1 Data libHSvector-0.10.9.1-ghc7.8.0.20140226.dylib include libHSvector-0.10.9.1.a $ ls /Users/a/.cabal/lib/x86_64-osx-ghc-7.8.0.20140226/primitive-0.5.2.1/ Control include libHSprimitive-0.5.2.1.a Data libHSprimitive-0.5.2.1-ghc7.8.0.20140226.dylib $ uname -a Darwin Calcifer.local 13.0.0 Darwin Kernel Version 13.0.0: Thu Sep 19 22:22:27 PDT 2013; root:xnu-2422.1.72~6/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 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!

Hi

After installing the first version of RC2 I ran into the following problem

cabal install vector Resolving dependencies... Configuring vector-0.10.9.1... ... [ 5 of 19] Compiling Data.Vector.Fusion.Stream.Monadic ( Data/Vector/Fusion/Stream/Monadic.hs, dist/build/Data/Vector/Fusion/Stream/Monadic.o ) Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done. Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done. Loading package base ... linking ... done. Loading package primitive-0.5.2.1 ... <command line>: can't load .so/.DLL for: libHSprimitive-0.5.2.1.dylib (dlopen(libHSprimitive-0.5.2.1.dylib, 9): image not found)

There seems to be a general problem that the install did not produce any dynamic libraries at least on the Mac:
