#8085: Both GHC and its installer don't run on current Debian Stable -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ppetr | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: GHC doesn't work Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 | at all hour) | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently it's not possible to run GHC or its installer. It fails with: {{{ ghc: error while loading shared libraries: libgmp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory }}} The problem is that the current Debian stable is Wheezy and it uses a newer version of libgmp. Proposed solution: Recompile on a recent Debian stable (Wheezy). Applies to x86_64 as well, most likely all architectures supported by Debian are affected. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8085 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
