#8085: Both GHC and its installer don't run on current Debian Stable -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ppetr | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: GHC doesn't work | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 at all | hour) Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by jstolarek): * cc: jan.stolarek@… (added) Comment: I also see this as a problem. Right now my procedure for installing GHC on Debian Wheezy is: - Install GHC 7.4.1 from Wheezy repo to use it for bootstraping - Compile the latest stable sources - Install compiled GHC - remove GHC installed from Wheezy packages Not a big problem for me, but I imagine that for many people who want to have the latest stable compiler this is discouraging. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8085#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
