#7819: FreeBSD without system libffi: Shared object "libffi.so.6" not found ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: igloo | Owner: pgj Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Build System | Version: 7.6.2 Keywords: | Os: FreeBSD Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by pgj): Replying to [comment:6 kazu-yamamoto]:
The build and installation works well with your first patch (only).
But the installed GHC refers to the dynamic libraries in the build
Great! directory.
So, after "gmake maintainer-clean", the installed GHC cannot find necessary dynamic libraries.
Yes, as I noted in my previous comment, this is because of a bug in `rtld(1)`. If you want to see this working, you can experiment with a [http://people.freebsd.org/~pgj/patches/2013/04/15/rtld-releng91.fix.diff fix] (written by Kostik Belousov). Download the diff, and rebuild your `ld-elf.so.1` from the base system source code. This should be under `/usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf`, where you should just apply the patch and reinstall the dynamic loader by issuing the following commands below. {{{ # make # make install }}} -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7819#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
