#8837: GHC 7.8.1-rc2 requires /usr/local/lib/libgmp10.10.dylib --------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: awick | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.1-rc2 Keywords: | Operating System: MacOS X Architecture: x86_64 | Type of failure: Installing GHC failed (amd64) | Test Case: Difficulty: Unknown | Blocking: Blocked By: | Related Tickets: | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------ It looks like a homebrew (or something else?) dependency snuck into the RC2 build: {{{ % ./configure --prefix=/Users/awick/tools/ghc7.8.0 checking for path to top of build tree... dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libgmp.10.dylib Referenced from: /Users/awick/tools/ghc-7.8.0.20140228/utils/ghc-pwd /dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-pwd Reason: image not found configure: error: cannot determine current directory }}} As not all of us use homebrew, it'd be lovely if the binary installer only required base Mac libraries to be installed rather than homebrew/macports/whatever. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8837 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
