#10001: GHC crash trying to build a project within Nix-shell -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: wolftune | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.4 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 Type of failure: Compile-time | (amd64) crash | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: 9825 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by siddhanathan): * status: infoneeded => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: So turns out `TMPDIR` was not set by default on my machine (using Ubuntu), and in such situations, nix defaults to using a temporary directory in `/run` which causes the panic. Setting `TMPDIR` to `/tmp` should fix the issue. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10001#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
