#14902: GHC HEAD cannot be booted with GHC 8.4.1 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: osa1 | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.4.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by Magiclouds): @hvr I reproduced this in two ways. 1. github source got me this. Also some submodules cannot be initialized, the cloning just stuck. 2. git.haskell.org source works, until somehow it broke ghc in my system. I did not install new ghc, no idea how it did it. I got messages like following when '''ghc-pkg check'''. cannot find any of ["libHSghc-prim-0.5.2.0.a","libHSghc- prim-0.5.2.0.p_a","libHSghc-prim-0.5.2.0-ghc8.4.3.so","libHSghc- prim-0.5.2.0-ghc8.4.3.dylib","HSghc-prim-0.5.2.0-ghc8.4.3.dll"] on library path There are problems in package rts-1.0: Warning: library-dirs: $HOME/src/Git/ghc/rts/dist/build doesn't exist or isn't a directory -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14902#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
