#11678: runhaskell (and ghc, ghci) fail to run if HOME is not set -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: crosser | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: x86_64 | Type of failure: Compile-time (amd64) | crash Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Steps to reproduce: {{{ $ env -i ghc HOME: getAppUserDataDirectory: does not exist (no environment variable) $ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.10.3 }}} This may be not a big deal for the compiler and repl, but there are use cases to run `runhaskell` without HOME, e.g. I encountered this when running a cgi script under Apache. I think that the problem was introduced after 7.8. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11678 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
