#9904: ghc: out of memory, requested 1048576 bytes on openbsd -----------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: vu3rdd | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: cabal-install Operating System: OpenBSD | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Other | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -----------------------------+------------------------------------------- Changes (by vu3rdd): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: OK, I solved the problem by taking cue from what others porting programs to OpenBSD have written. OpenBSD defaults limits listed in /etc/login.conf is pretty conservative. So, I increased the datasize: ... values to infinity. After that cabal installed the 1.22.0.0 just fine. It upgraded from 1.16.0.x to 1.22.0.0. I will also try compiling a newer version of ghc. I am closing the ticket. Thanks. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9904#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
