#9011: panic - interactiveUI:setBuffering2 -------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: irneb | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: GHCi crash | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by irneb): Sorry, it seems I did omit a bit. I'm only starting with Haskell as my next language to learn. So first step: install the needed tools. Did a bit of searching and got various answers ranging from compiling from source to installing from the repo. Anyhoo ... the source idea made for lots of extra manual downloads because these dependencies simply are not available by default. Gave up on that since it simply didn't want to work after about 2 days of trying. Then installed from the repo after adding the universe site to the aps list. Seemed to install properly, but the interactive REPL gives this error message. Then I searched through this forum for the error in question. Found a few threads which stated that installing LibFFI5 solved it and then they were closed. No further info or comments. Then I tried installing this, found that it's not available in the repo, did a search and found that libffi6 superseded libffi5 since Ubuntu 10 (I'm now on 13.10). So installed the new libffi6 and tried again ... no dice, same error. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9011#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
