#10131: improve error message for build on noexec-mounted device -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: lspitzner | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.4 Component: Compiler | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Keywords: | Type of failure: Other Architecture: | Blocked By: Unknown/Multiple | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- i was building (in a sandbox) on a ramdisk that was accidentally mounted with the noexec flag. for example during the install of `vector`, you get an error like Loading package primitive-0.5.4.0 ... <command line>: can't load .so/.DLL for: somepath/.cabal-sandbox/lib/x86_64-linux- ghc-7.8.4/primitive-0.5.4.0/libHSprimitive-0.5.4.0-ghc7.8.4.so (somepath /.cabal-sandbox/lib/x86_64-linux- ghc-7.8.4/primitive-0.5.4.0/libHSprimitive-0.5.4.0-ghc7.8.4.so: failed to map segment from shared object) relevant output of `mount`: none on somepath type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,gid=103,user=lspitzner) this is by far no minimal test-case, but i hope my description of the problem is sufficient. if not, i can provide verbose output for my or other test-cases. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10131 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
