Repeating the steps from comment:5, or just `ghci -ignore-package base`, now prints: {{{ GHCi, version 7.8.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Top level: Failed to load interface for ‘Prelude’ Use -v to see a list of the files searched for. }}} @irneb. I'm sorry you ran into this problem. I understand you tried solving the problem by installing libffi from looking at #3144, but that is a 6 year ticket. For anyone else running into problems like this: try installng the most recent version of GHC first, and start over with new `.ghc` and `.cabal` directories in your home directory. Also make sure there is no strange GHC_PACKAGE_PATH variable in your shell environment (maybe from a previous installation). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9011#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
