#11617: DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH ignored on Mac OS X 10.11.x ---------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: borsboom | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: hsc2hs | Version: 7.10.3 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #8266, #8721 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | ---------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Changes (by thomie): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: Great explanation, thanks. Good thing GHC/Cabal doesn't rely on DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH (for installed libraries). We would be in a lot of trouble now if it did. I still don't understand the original problem reported to reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/3ooxu4/library_not_loaded_libmaria..., "I cloned the mysql package from bos/mysql and replaced the call to mysql_config program to mariadb_config program."). Maybe there's another bug somewhere, but it is unlikely GHC's fault. Closing this issue as wontfix. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11617#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
