#7576: Building happy -- setup: internal error: evacuate: strange closure type 2122076 -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: datenwolf | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.1 Keywords: | Os: Linux Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Failure: Runtime crash Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment(by simonmar): Most packages build without actually ''running'' any Haskell code, Happy is slightly unusual in that it has a `Setup.hs` file that is built and run during installation. `pandoc` and `texmath` have the same property (look for `Build-type: Custom` in their `.cabal` files). Still, it is strange that you can use `cabal-install` to install Happy manually. I suspect there are some inconsistent packages somewhere, and when you use `cabal-install` manually it is avoiding the problematic packages. What happens if you rename `.ghc`? -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7576#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
