#7652: Testing freezes on FreeBSD 9.1. ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: kazu-yamamoto | Owner: pgj Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Keywords: | Os: FreeBSD Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by pgj): It looks like the FreeBSD port of Python (`lang/python27`) differs from Linux in how it handles threads due to [http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=230031 some changes] in the run-time system, and this seems to be the problem here. So I found if I build `lang/python27` with the (non-default) `PTH` option enabled then it works as expected, the testsuite finishes. Please verify if this solves the problem for you. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7652#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
