The Gentoo- Haskell folks strongly advise using their provided packages instead of cabal-install. When I try to emerge (=install) [dev- haskell/happy-1.18.10](http://www.haskell.org/happy/) the build process aborts with the message {{{

In fact the happy build was part of a `haskell-updater --upgrade` run, and several (about 50 or so) other packages built just fine. What's even more interesting though (and why the Bug is probably better left with the gentoo-haskell folks) is, that if I use cabal-install to install happy into my user directory it builds just fine. I also have found two other packages affected in the same way: texmath-0.6.1.2 and pandoc-1.9.4.5 In both cases `./setup` bails out with a strange closure type evacuation. But at least texmath can be installed through cabal-install just fine. pandoc doesn't install because the system package manager installed packages (bytestring to be specific) is in conflict with dependencies. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7576#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Still, it is strange that you can use `cabal-install` to install Happy manually. I suspect there are some inconsistent packages somewhere, and when you use `cabal-install` manually it is avoiding the problematic packages. What happens if you rename `.ghc`? -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7576#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
