directories not closed?
by John Meacham 09 Jun '03

09 Jun '03

I regularly call getDirectoryContents on a certain directory looking for changes, when I 'lsof' my process (list open files) it has an absurd number of open descriptors to said directory open. I didn't see an obvious bug in getDirectoryContents, does anyone know what is going on? Also, did the fixes for sockets not getting properly closed all the time make it into 6.00? I am trying to track down some out of descriptor problems. thanks.

Problems building GHC 6.0 with gcc 3.3
by Ian Lynagh 09 Jun '03

09 Jun '03

I'm having problems building GHC 6.0 with GCC 3.3. I've fixed a couple of problems with comments in CPP macros as seen elsewhere, and then everything seemed to be going fine until it came to create stage2/ghc-6.0 and it failed with a huge number of things like stage2/utils/Util.o(.text+0xb8): In function `r4c8_entry': : undefined reference to `GHCziBase_True_closure' stage2/utils/Util.o(.text+0xc8): In function `r4c8_entry': : undefined reference to `GHCziBase_False_closure' In fact, even building hello world with stage1/ghc-inplace failed, starting with ./Foo.o(.text+0x28): In function `sxG_srt': : undefined reference to `GHCziBase_unpackCStringzh_closure' ./Foo.o(.text+0x85): In function `sxG_entry': : undefined reference to `GHCziBase_unpackCStringzh_closure' /home/igloo/ghc6/attempt1/ghc6-6.0/libraries/base/libHSbase.a(Prelude__1.o)(.text+0xa): In function `__stginit_Prelude_': : undefined reference to `_module_registered' /home/igloo/ghc6/attempt1/ghc6-6.0/libraries/base/libHSbase.a(Prelude__1.o)(.text+0x17): In function `__stginit_Prelude_': : undefined reference to `_module_registered' Looking at the first of these I discovered that the split libraries thought that GHCziBase_unpackCStringzh_closure is a local symbol, so ld -x was discarding it. $ ghc6-6.0/ghc/driver/split/ghc-split Base.split_s Base.split Base.split $ gcc -c -o Base.o Base.s $ gcc -c -o Base__131.o Base.split__131.s $ objdump -t Base.o | grep GHCziBase_unpackCStringzh_closure 00000378 g O .data 00000004 GHCziBase_unpackCStringzh_closure $ objdump -t Base__131.o | grep GHCziBase_unpackCStringzh_closure 00000000 l .data 00000000 GHCziBase_unpackCStringzh_closure $ Compiling these files with gcc 2.95 has the same problem. I'm out of my depth here, but I would guess the assembler generated has changed and the evil mangler now goes wrong? I've put the GHC build log, the result of compiling hello world with -v, Base.s, Base.split_s, Base.split, Base.split__131.s at http://urchin.earth.li/~ian/gcc3.3/ Thanks Ian

running 6.0 for Linux on Red Hat 9
by John Mann 06 Jun '03

06 Jun '03

Hello all. I would like to know whether I can use the following binary of the ghc compiler for Linux, listed on the Glasgow Haskell home page, on my Red Hat 9 Linux Pentium box which has glibc version 2.3.2; "Binary tar for Linux/x86 with glibc 2.2 (a complete build, including interactive system, profiling libraries and documentation): .tar.bz2 (12.7 Mb). This build was done on a RedHat 7.2 box." Will there be an incompatibility with the glibc 2.2 used for the build? If so, what's the next best way to get ghc installed? Thanks in advance.

Incorrect Mime Type for Mac OS Package
by Wolfgang Thaller 04 Jun '03

04 Jun '03

Hi, The Haskell Web Server claims that the .dmg file for the MacOS Package is of type "text/plain"; some browsers on MacOS (IE and Netscape) therefore try to display it as plain text instead of downloading it. Is anyone able to fix that somehow? Cheers, Wolfgang

In fact I use: -- Module : $Header$ Cheers Christian
