Have you done 'make boot' in ghc/driver?
Yes, I had this error too. I've solved it by adding: [] into driver/package.conf.inplace and touch driver/stamp-pkg-conf-rts It is not so nice that ghc-inplace dumps core if package.conf.inplace is an empty file... I think Ian has mentioned this too.
2.- Now the problem seems to be another one:
bash-2.05$ ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace hello.hs
crash, and tracing the core it seems a problem having to do with gmp software:
bash-2.05a$ gdb ghc-6.0.1 core
# 0x1153a208 in __decodeFloat ()
if I apply the "-v" flag, then
bash-2.05$ ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace -v hello.hs bash-2.05a$ gdb ghc-6.0.1 core
# 0x11554ae4 in __gmpn_tdiv_qr / ( qp=0x454ed518 ...)
Any idea ?
This is where I am now. It looks like a bug in the gmp software. It happens for me this happens when I try to rebuild the rts, near the end of distrib/hc-build (and I guess it would happen if you tried to just run hello.hs without rebuilding the libraries). This GDB was configured as "mips-sgi-irix6.5"... Core was generated by `ghc-6.0.1'. Program terminated with signal 10, Bus error. Reading symbols from /import/pill0/1/dons/lib/libgmp.so.4...done.
