I'm a little worried about whether the obvious fix for this (adding `-lfoo` to the gcc command line for building the temporary shared objects for each library `-lfoo` specified on the ghci command line) might cause #8935 to occur again in some configurations. The right way to build a shared library would be to add `-lfoo`. Haskell
#10458: GHCi fails to load shared object (the 'impossible' happened) ---------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: rleslie | Owner: trommler Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.10.3 Component: GHCi | Version: 7.10.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): ---------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Changes (by trommler): * owner: => trommler Comment: Replying to [comment:5 rwbarton]: libraries are linked with `-Bsymbolic` and I wonder if that would indeed make #8935 come back. Perhaps it is better to go for option one in my comment:12 and load C Libraries with `RTLD_GLOBAL` after all. I'll take a look. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10458#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
