Symptoms:
You build 6.8.1 from source on Leopard (x86 in my case) and then
junior:ghc-6.8.1 joelr$ ghci GHCi, version 6.8.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help ghc-6.8.1: /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.8.1/lib/base-3.0.0.0/HSbase-3.0.0.0.o: unknown symbol `_environ' Loading package base ... linking ... ghc-6.8.1: unable to load package `base'
Problem:
ghc binaries are being stripped upon installation which eliminates _environ, e.g.
junior:tmp joelr$ nm x|grep environ 00002ff0 T ___hscore_environ 0004d004 D _environ
junior:tmp joelr$ strip x junior:tmp joelr$ nm x|grep environ
Solution:
Need to make sure install-sh does _not_ use the -s option. Haven't found out where this needs to be done yet. A temporary workaround is to ask Manuel for the pre-built binaries.
MacOS folks: is this still an issue? If so, could someone create a ticket? Cheers, Simon
