#13945: 'ghc-pkg update' fails due to bad file descriptor error ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: mpickering | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: infoneeded Priority: high | Milestone: 8.2.2 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1-rc3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D3897 Wiki Page: | ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment (by j.waldmann): Slightly tangential, but - This issue prevents me from installing ghc (8.2.1) on that specific machine (which I need for lab classes) as it appears both after building from source, and when installing a binary distribution. Is there a work-around? Like, configure with the correct prefix, but then fool "make install" to use some other prefix (in the local file system), then "cp -rvp" manually to the correct (NFS-mounted) location? (Well, running "make install" in a chroot could probably help.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13945#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
