#8266: Dynamic linking on Mac --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: kazu-yamamoto | Owner: Type: bug | thoughtpolice Priority: highest | Status: closed Component: Build System | Milestone: 7.8.1 Resolution: fixed | Version: 7.7 Operating System: MacOS X | Keywords: Type of failure: GHC doesn't work at all | Architecture: Test Case: | Unknown/Multiple Blocking: | Difficulty: Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by amosrobinson): I'm using the binary from `inplace/bin/` because that's how I've always done it - I thought that //was// the //normal// way. The only reason I was using libraries from `bindisttest/install dir/lib/` is because that's how I managed to get it to work. OK! So, if I set my path to `bindisttest/install dir/bin/` instead of `inplace/bin/` it works without the dodgy symlinks. That's good enough for now. I feel that this is a bug: it was my understanding `inplace` is supposed to work the same as an installed copy, but I'll file a separate ticket.
