#7576: Building happy -- setup: internal error: evacuate: strange closure type 2122076 -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: datenwolf | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.1 Keywords: | Os: Linux Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Failure: Runtime crash Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment(by datenwolf): No, happy is not the first package built with the new compiler. In fact the happy build was part of a `haskell-updater --upgrade` run, and several (about 50 or so) other packages built just fine. What's even more interesting though (and why the Bug is probably better left with the gentoo-haskell folks) is, that if I use cabal-install to install happy into my user directory it builds just fine. I also have found two other packages affected in the same way: texmath-0.6.1.2 and pandoc-1.9.4.5 In both cases `./setup` bails out with a strange closure type evacuation. But at least texmath can be installed through cabal-install just fine. pandoc doesn't install because the system package manager installed packages (bytestring to be specific) is in conflict with dependencies. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7576#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
