#7359: unix-2.6.0.0 fails to install on mac os x with 7.4.* (works with 7.6.1) -----------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: AndreasVoellmy | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 7.6.3 Component: libraries/unix | Version: 7.4.1 Resolution: | Keywords: unix package Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: Other | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -----------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by hvr): Replying to [comment:10 MtnViewMark]:

The unix package is supplied with GHC. You can't, in general, just use a different version. Haskell Platform 2012.4 ships with GHC 7.4.1, which includes unix-2.5.1.1. I wouldn't expect unix-2.6.x.y to work with GHC 7.4.1 at all.

Fwiw, the soon to be released `unix-2.7.0.0` package should work with GHC 7.4.x, GHC 7.6.x, and (obviously) GHC 7.8.x (See also [https://travis- ci.org/ghc/packages-unix current TravisCI build status]) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7359#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
