I believe that issue is resolved in latest msys2-runtime.

Indeed it is. I'll produce a 32-bit build tonight. Cheers, - Ben

I'm using Ubuntu precise (12.04LTS). How I know which binary distribution should install?

I'm asking because I could install without problems both

ghc*x86_64-deb7-linux* and

ghc*x86_64-deb8-linux*.

You should likely be using the deb8 build in this case. The only difference is the libc version which is linked against. Cheers, - Ben

2016-01-13 17:33 GMT-05:00 Ben Gamari :

Due to unfortunate Cabal/GHC interactions, GHC 8.0 will require Cabal 0.23. These interface file issues should be cleared up by wiping your 8.0.1 package database, installing Cabal and cabal-install 0.23 (only available from the upstream repository at the moment), and trying to install vector again.

Installing Cabal and cabal-install (with GHC 7.10.3) from the upstream repository fixed the problem. Thanks! -- Andrés

gmp should be probably provided by your OS. Looks like you will also need its -dev version too. Does

Won't help on OS X unless they have Fink installed, and even then that means potentially getting a different libgmp than base is using. If base includes libgmp, as it must on Windows / OS X, it should be made available to other packages. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net

http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.0.1-rc1/

This is the first in a series of release candidates which will allow us to get wider testing of the significant changes that have occurred since the 7.10 series. These include,

* the TypeInType extension, which unifies types and kinds allowing for promotion of more Haskell constructs to the type-level

* the introduction of type application in source programs

* support for recursive superclass relationships

* support for Applicative do notation

* introduction of the DuplicateRecordFields language extension

* a rewritten and substantially more thorough pattern match checker

* the introduction of injective type classes

* introduction of the Strict and StrictData language extensions, allowing modules to be compiled with strict-by-default evaluation of bindings

* the ability to run the GHCi interpreter in a separate process, allowing a callstacks in GHCi, easier integration with tooling, and more

and much more.

Changes of this magnitude will invariably bring bugs. This release candidate in particular is known to suffer from a few significant issues which are being actively worked upon,

* The new -XInjectiveTypeFamilies language extension will likely be renamed to -XTypeFamilyDependencies

* #11120: Type representations are missing for some types and promoted constructors

* #11334: Solving for Typeable (Proxy :: Proxy 'Compose) fails

* #11276: Pattern checker performance can degrade significantly in presence of pattern matches with guards

* #11405: Type-level skolem-escape check fails incorrectly

* #11414: Use of -XStrict results in compiler abort

* #11379: Instance solver fails to terminate

* #11419: Haddock documentation is currently not included in the binary distributions (and hence is missing on downloads.haskell.org)

* #11370: -Wredundant-constraints being included in -Wall breaks the three-release compatibility policy

In the coming weeks we will continue to iterate on these issues. We will also look at Trac tickets marked with "highest" priority on the release status page [2].

If you have a ticket that you would like to see addressed that does not meet one of these criteria, please bring this to our attention. Likewise, if you encounter an issue please open a ticket if one does not already exist.

Also note that we currently cannot offer 32-bit Windows builds due to breaking changing in a recent Windows 10 upgrade. We'll work to resolve this before the 8.0 release but please let us know if this poses a significant problem for you.
