Dear GHC team, I am trying to test ghc-7.8.20140130-src.tar.bz2 I make it from source with ghc-7.6.3 on Debian Linux (64 bit). ./configure looks all right. And `make' reports after 40 minutes: ------------------------------------------------------- ... ... "inplace/bin/ghc-stage1" -optc-Ilibraries/integer-gmp/. -optc-I'/home/mechvel/g..... ... ... /usr/bin/ld: libraries/integer-gmp/gmp/objs/aors.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `__gmpz_sub' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC libraries/integer-gmp/gmp/objs/aors.o: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [libraries/integer-gmp/dist-install/build/libHSinteger-gmp-0.5.1.0\ -ghc7.8.20140130.so] Error 1 ------------------------------------------------------- What might this mean? Need I to install a fresher libgmp ? Thanks, ------ Sergei
