[GHC] #8085: Both GHC and its installer don't run on current Debian Stable
#8085: Both GHC and its installer don't run on current Debian Stable -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ppetr | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: GHC doesn't work Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 | at all hour) | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently it's not possible to run GHC or its installer. It fails with: {{{ ghc: error while loading shared libraries: libgmp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory }}} The problem is that the current Debian stable is Wheezy and it uses a newer version of libgmp. Proposed solution: Recompile on a recent Debian stable (Wheezy). Applies to x86_64 as well, most likely all architectures supported by Debian are affected. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8085 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Right now my procedure for installing GHC on Debian Wheezy is: - Install GHC 7.4.1 from Wheezy repo to use it for bootstraping - Compile the latest stable sources - Install compiled GHC - remove GHC installed from Wheezy packages Not a big problem for me, but I imagine that for many people who want to have the latest stable compiler this is discouraging. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8085#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Still I think this is now fixed - we have builds for Debian 7 available for download. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8085#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
