#7921: DSO linking bug in unix package ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: SimonHengel | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries/unix | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: worksforme | Keywords: Os: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Failure: Compile-time crash | Difficulty: Unknown Testcase: | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by igloo): * status: new => closed * difficulty: => Unknown * resolution: => worksforme Comment: The `unix` package has a check for whether `sem_close` requires `pthread` or not in its `configure.ac`: {{{ AC_SEARCH_LIBS(sem_close, pthread, [EXTRA_LIBS="$EXTRA_LIBS $ac_lib"], [AC_MSG_NOTICE([Not found])]) }}} I suspect that you are using a binary that was built on another machine which didn't require pthread, so I'll close this ticket. Please re-open if you still think there's a bug, though. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7921#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
