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

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 On Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 8:05 PM, Austin Seipp wrote:

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

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