#9904: ghc: out of memory, requested 1048576 bytes on openbsd ------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: vu3rdd | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: cabal-install | Operating System: OpenBSD Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: Other Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: ------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Hi, I freshly installed OpenBSD 5.6 on an AMD64 system. I also installed ghc and cabal-install from the OpenBSD package system. The version in OpenBSD 5.6 package tree is: $ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.6.3 $ cabal --version cabal-install version 1.16.0.2 using version 1.16.0 of the Cabal library Now, I do a `cabal update' and `cabal install cabal-install'. I get this error: ghc: out of memory, requested 1048576 bytes I am not sure if it is a cabal-install bug or a ghc bug or an OpenBSD bug. So, if you think it is not a ghc bug, please go ahead and close this bug (and accept my apologies..), I will open it against cabal-install or openbsd instead. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9904 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
