I have no idea how to debug this, but in src/Algorithm/OptimalBlocks.hs, if you replace the "in Blocks (reverse rlist) end" with "in Blocks [] bs", it will compile. Also, if that same file starts with the line "{-# OPTIONS_GHC -O1 #-}" it will compile. This also happens on my Mac running OSX 10.8.5 and ghc 7.4.2 without llvm; I have to tweak the .cabal file a little to drop the lower bound on base and to get rid of the "-fllvm" flag, but if I do that I see the exact same behaviour. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8836> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#8918: Network package doesn't load under GHC 7.8 RC on windows (?) -------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: dmcclean | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries (other) | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Keywords: | Operating System: Windows Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+--------------------------------- (Please note that I am not certain that this issue is related to the 7.8 release candidate specifically, it may be some peculiarity of my system. But the same thing does work for me under 7.6.3 on the same machine. I don't understand exactly what the message is complaining about, so I don't feel confident in making a diagnosis. I don't know if the problem is me, the library, or ghc.) Under the GHC 7.8 rc1 build for Windows that I installed, I can't load the network package. In the course of upgrading one of my projects, I cabal install'd the network-conduit package, and network is one of the dependencies. The install worked fine, with the usual sprinkling of deprecation warnings and "rule might not fire because..." warnings, nothing that seemed unusual or alarming. I can't however actually load the package. {{{ GHCi, version 7.8.20140130: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
