Hello, I've had a problem with GHC.Prim when compiling the darcs HEAD lately. When I compile it in the normal way with no special options
sh boot && ./configure && make && make install
it compiles correctly, but if I attempt to compile
module Main where
import GHC.Prim
main :: IO () main = return ()
then I get this output:
$ ghc --make Main.hs -fglasgow-exts -v
Main.hs:3:0: Failed to load interface for `GHC.Prim': locations searched: GHC/Prim.hs GHC/Prim.lhs
It works for me, with last night's HEAD build. Are you running GHC from the build tree, or installing it first? (not that it ought to make a difference). If you say 'ghc-pkg describe base', does it list GHC.Prim as exposed? While importing GHC.Prim should work, the right way is to import GHC.Exts instead. Cheers, Simon
