#8837: GHC 7.8.1-rc2 requires /usr/local/lib/libgmp10.10.dylib ------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: awick | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.1-rc2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: x86_64 Type of failure: Installing GHC failed | (amd64) Test Case: | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: ------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by awick): Just to get things working, I just symlinked my MacPorts copy over to /usr/local/lib, for now. Personally, I'd much prefer GHC to include an "extra" version of GMP than assume the right one is around on a Mac. From my point of view, either using a statically linked set of binaries or just including a copy of libgmp.10.dylib are equally fine. Ideally, it'd be nifty if the installer did a check for a local version. If there was one, it'd point the installed binaries to that. If not, then it'd have a spare copy it could install for GHC. But I don't know how hard that redirection would be, and for now, I suspect just always including GMP would be easier. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8837#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
