I think the last time 'make install' worked for me was sometime in February or March 2013. The build succeeds but 'make install' fails. Is this normal? git rev ef01794 linux i386 glibc 2.18 gcc 4.8.1 mk/build.mk: BuildFlavour = perf V = 0 $ perl boot $ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/ghc/7.7.20130827 $ make $ make install [...] Installing library in /tmp/ghc/7.7.20130827/lib/ghc-7.7.20130827/haskell2010-1.1.1.0 "/tmp/ghc/7.7.20130827/lib/ghc-7.7.20130827/bin/ghc-pkg" --force --global-package-db "/tmp/ghc/7.7.20130827/lib/ghc-7.7.20130827/package.conf.d" update rts/dist/package.conf.install /tmp/ghc/7.7.20130827/lib/ghc-7.7.20130827/bin/ghc-pkg: error while loading shared libraries: libHSbin-package-db-0.0.0.0-ghc7.7.20130827.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [install_packages] Error 127 make: *** [install] Error 2 Related: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2013-March/000822.html http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2013-April/000995.html
