(eg "ghc-pkg --version" returns "", same for --help.) When I try the built binaries I find that ghc-7.8.3/utils/ghc-pkg/dist/build/tmp/ghc-pkg (which is statically linked) works normally (ie it outputs --help and --version) whereas $DESTDIR/$libdir/ghc-7.8.3/bin/ghc-pkg gives no output on stdout! A workaround is to build with DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS=NO (ticket:7942#comment:44) -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9673> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

It is invalid because of tabs inserted into the template that cause the functions to have syntax / indenting errors. I attempted to install happy to patch it, but happy will not compile either because of the tabs. I think clang's CPP is inserting tabs into lines with > 8 spaces of indentation. Also the comment lines in the template of this form are invalid for clang and cause it to fail. {{{ # 5 comment }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8493> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

When compiled ghc uses up at least 16GB of RAM and then dies. I haven't been able to simplify it very much, almost any change to JSON.Render causes it to start working properly.

It fails with: {{{ ghc: error while loading shared libraries: libgmp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory }}} The problem is that the current Debian stable is Wheezy and it uses a newer version of libgmp. Proposed solution: Recompile on a recent Debian stable (Wheezy). Applies to x86_64 as well, most likely all architectures supported by Debian are affected. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8085> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
