#15494: Cannot install GHC through stack on NixOS -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Stefanov | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: upstream Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.4.3 Resolution: | Keywords: install | fail,NixOS,Linux Operating System: Linux | Architecture: arm Type of failure: Installing GHC | Test Case: failed | Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by bgamari): * status: new => upstream Comment: Indeed I strongly suspect that this is due to NixOS's odd filesystem structure. Afterall, GHC has a few dependencies (`libc`, `gmp`, and perhaps the `iconv` executable) which NixOS places in rather odd places. You will likely need to bring this up with either the Stack or NixOS upstreams. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15494#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
