I'm trying to install GHC and related software under Solaris 9 and am stuck at HSQL. I initially used the binary package of ghc 6.4.1. It installed w/o any problems, and I was able to build alex, happy, haddock and cpphs. However, when trying to install HSQL-1.6, it complained about "ld" not recognizing "-x". I guess this is due to the binary package for Solaris being built on a machine that used the GNU linker, which recognizes "-x"? Anyway, this led me to build ghc 6.4.1 from source, with gcc 4.0.2, which was successful. :-) However, when I try to install HSQL-1.6, it dies during the build step. :-(
Here is the output:

This error happens consistently, but sometimes one line earlier. Googling reveals that at least one person encountered this exception on Solaris in the recent past:
I think this means that GHC crashed. waitForProcess throws the "interrupted" exception whenever the sub-process it is waiting for receives a signal, such as a SIGSEGV. This is the wrong behaviour, I'll look into fixing it. The next step is to find out why GHC is crashing - you could try running GHC on its own, independently of Cabal (use "runghc Setup.lhs -v" to get the command line). Cheers, Simon
