Re: Can't install 32-bit ghc-7.8.1 on 64-bit xubuntu 14.04

ia32-libs is absent on modern Ubuntus. But if anyone is interested installing lib32ncurses5 and libgmp10:i386 did the 'configure' trick. But now 'make install' fails with: "utils/ghc-cabal/dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-cabal-bindist" register libraries/ghc-prim dist-install "/home/awson/data/ghc-7.8.1-i386/lib/ghc-7.8.1/bin/ghc" "/home/awson/data/ghc-7.8.1-i386/lib/ghc-7.8.1/bin/ghc-pkg" "/home/awson/data/ghc-7.8.1-i386/lib/ghc-7.8.1" '' '/home/awson/data/ghc-7.8.1-i386' '/home/awson/data/ghc-7.8.1-i386/lib/ghc-7.8.1' '/home/awson/data/ghc-7.8.1-i386/share/doc/ghc/html/libraries' NO ghc-cabal: Bad interface file: dist-install/build/GHC/CString.hi magic number mismatch: old/corrupt interface file?

YMMV. You are much better off using 64-bit software on 64-bit Ubuntu.

Yup, I've already guessed this. More specifically: which :i386 packages should I install to make it work?

I have unpacked ghc-7.8.1-i386-unknown-linux-deb7.tar.xz to ~/data/Work/ghc-7.8.1-i386.

Now I have the following:

awson@awsonvirt:~/data/Work/ghc-7.8.1-i386$ ./configure --prefix=/home/awson/data/ghc-7.8.1-i386 checking for path to top of build tree... utils/ghc-pwd/dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-pwd-bindist: line 3: /home/awson/data/Work/ghc-7.8.1-i386/utils/ghc-pwd/dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-pwd: No such file or directory configure: error: cannot determine current directory

ghc-pwd is definitely there but it does not start it seems. Perhaps, the system lacks some shared libs or something. ... What you have forgotten is to install i386 libs on your purely amd64 xubuntu probably...
