Loading package yaml-0.8.8.2 ... ghc.exe: panic! (the 'impossible' happened) (GHC version 7.8.2 for x86_64-unknown-mingw32): loadObj "C:\\Users\\Manuel\\AppData\\Roaming\\cabal\\x86_64 -windows-ghc- 7.8.2\\yaml-0.8.8.2\\HSyaml-0.8.8.2.o": failed Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug ghc.exe: Unknown PEi386 section name `.text.unlikely' (while processing: C:\User s\Manuel\AppData\Roaming\cabal\x86_64-windows- ghc-7.8.2\yaml-0.8.8.2\HSyaml-0.8. 8.2.o) cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: ghcjs-0.1.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was: ExitFailure 1 }}} Also reported this for ghcjs (https://github.com/ghcjs/ghcjs/issues/170) I am not using the haskell plattform, but the 7.8.2 binaries + MinGW and MSYS. I also tried mingw-w64 but this made no difference. I am also using the recent ghcjs cabal branch. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9080 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
