#15404: ghc-8.6 uninstallable on macos due to hard coded libgmp directory -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: tmcdonell | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: None | Version: Keywords: | Operating System: MacOS X Architecture: | Type of failure: Installing GHC Unknown/Multiple | failed Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- It is very difficult to install the ghc-8.6.1 release candidates (both RC1 and RC2) on MacOS because several components attempt to link directly to `/usr/local/opt/gmp/lib/libgmp.10.dylib`. This is not a standard path. See the offending `LC_LOAD_DYLIB` command here: {{{ $ jtool -l libraries/base/dist- install/build/libHSbase-4.12.0.0-ghc8.6.0.20180714.dylib LC 00: LC_SEGMENT_64 Mem: 0x000000000-0x4e1000 __TEXT Mem: 0x0000010b0-0x0004d12ba __TEXT.__text (Normal) Mem: 0x0004d12ba-0x0004d1686 __TEXT.__stubs (Symbol Stubs) Mem: 0x0004d1688-0x0004d1cee __TEXT.__stub_helper (Normal) Mem: 0x0004d1cee-0x0004df75b __TEXT.__cstring (C-String Literals) Mem: 0x0004df760-0x0004e0f40 __TEXT.__const Mem: 0x0004e0f40-0x0004e1000 __TEXT.__unwind_info LC 01: LC_SEGMENT_64 Mem: 0x0004e1000-0x5a7000 __DATA Mem: 0x0004e1000-0x0004e30f0 __DATA.__got (Non-Lazy Symbol Ptrs) Mem: 0x0004e30f0-0x0004e3100 __DATA.__nl_symbol_ptr (Non-Lazy Symbol Ptrs) Mem: 0x0004e3100-0x0004e3610 __DATA.__la_symbol_ptr (Lazy Symbol Ptrs) Mem: 0x0004e3610-0x0004e3618 __DATA.__mod_init_func (Module Init Function Ptrs) Mem: 0x0004e3620-0x0004f4bc0 __DATA.__const Mem: 0x0004f4bc0-0x0005a6920 __DATA.__data Mem: 0x0005a6920-0x0005a6928 __DATA.__bss (Zero Fill) LC 02: LC_SEGMENT_64 Mem: 0x0005a7000-0xb8c000 __LINKEDIT LC 03: LC_ID_DYLIB @rpath/libHSbase-4.12.0.0-ghc8.6.0.20180714.dylib LC 04: LC_DYLD_INFO LC 05: LC_SYMTAB Symbol table is at offset 0x6a5348 (6968136), 118090 entries String table is at offset 0x873d78 (8863096), 3241616 bytes LC 06: LC_DYSYMTAB 81438 local symbols at index 0 35948 external symbols at index 81438 704 undefined symbols at index 117386 No TOC No modtab 1380 Indirect symbols at offset 0x8727e8 LC 07: LC_UUID UUID: B4C0C347-131F-317B-BA52-EE23F5C5CABA LC 08: LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX Minimum OS X version: 10.12.0 LC 09: LC_SOURCE_VERSION Source Version: 0.0.0.0.0 LC 10: LC_LOAD_DYLIB /usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib LC 11: LC_LOAD_DYLIB @rpath/libHSinteger- gmp-1.0.2.0-ghc8.6.0.20180714.dylib LC 12: LC_LOAD_DYLIB @rpath/libHSghc- prim-0.5.3-ghc8.6.0.20180714.dylib LC 13: LC_LOAD_DYLIB /usr/local/opt/gmp/lib/libgmp.10.dylib LC 14: LC_LOAD_DYLIB /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib LC 15: LC_RPATH @loader_path/../integer-gmp-1.0.2.0 LC 16: LC_RPATH @loader_path/../ghc-prim-0.5.3 LC 17: LC_RPATH @loader_path/../rts LC 18: LC_FUNCTION_STARTS Offset: 6876632, Size: 91504 (0x68edd8-0x6a5348) with 83924 functions LC 19: LC_DATA_IN_CODE Offset: 6968136, Size: 0 (0x6a5348-0x6a5348) }}} The other offenders are `libHSbinary` and `libHSinteger-gmp`.
