#10131: improve error message for build on noexec-mounted device -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: lspitzner | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.4 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Other | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by thomie): * status: new => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: That message is coming from your OS (or maybe the linker, I'm not sure). Not from GHC. vector uses some fancy GHC optimization which requires loading a module using the GHCi machinery, which by default means loading its dependencies as shared libraries. And loading a shared library from a noexec mounted disk is not permitted. I made a pull request to let vector not use GHCi during compilation, which would have prevented your issue (at least `cabal install vector` on noexec mounted drive works now): https://github.com/haskell/vector/pull/83 -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10131#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
