good. The results of "gmake" in testsuite/tests/ghc-regress might be
I am afraid the stage3 build wasn't enough :(. I did some more testing with that ghc build. I built a middle sized Haskell project with it, which worked. A colleaque did this test again, which worked, too. Then he build another Haskell package, which failed (ghc segfaults). After this the previous project failed, too. I tried it again and it worked. After a break I built the project again - and it failed (everytime segfaults). Thus I guess that I have problems with the threaded rts (which are more difficult too reproduce, than the previous ones). Ah, and ghci segfaults every time - I didn't test ghci before. I will try a non-threaded version and threaded with debug enabled. BTW, what are the disadvantages of a non-threaded rts?
interesting, too. My last result with the unthreaded (sparc) version yielded the following problems: [..] I will try it.
I tried that package at a sparc Solaris 8 mashine. The problem here is, that some shared libs are not available:
# ldd /var/tmp/gsauthof/ghc-6.4.2-20060529/lib/ghc-6.4.2/ghc-6.4.2 libreadline.so.5 => (file not found) libncurses.so.5 => (file not found) libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1 libm.so.2 => (file not found) libgmp.so.3 => (file not found) libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1 /usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000/lib/libc_psr.so.1
Because of the missing libm.so.2 - did you build it at Solaris > 8?
I've built under Solaris 10. (Maybe older version of readline and ncurses would work, too.)
The only 'real' problem is libm.so.2 (Solaris 8 has libm.so.1) - I guess.
Surely, you may try to build a sparc binary distribution as well
Yes, I will try it after I finished the Solaris x86 stuff. At the solaris/sparc mashines, there is a ghc 6.2 available - but I get 'gcc notes' like described in this mail: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2004-November/007473.... (note: if this code is reached, the program will aborted) So I will start with the binary 6.4.1 from haskell.org and get the right readline/gmp libs. Regards Georg Sauthoff
