Re: ANNOUNCE: GHC 7.10.1 Release Candidate 2

GHC 7.10.1-rc2 i386 also fails in the same fashion on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5, which might be more concerning. Both failures appear to be caused by a GMP 4 vs 5 problem, previously reported as Solaris-specific: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10003 -- Miëtek On 2015-02-21, at 20:19, Miëtek Bak wrote:

My previous email was about the x86_64 bindist GHC 7.10.1-rc2. I’ve now added i386 support to Halcyon, and it appears only the x86_64 version works fine on CentOS 6 (6.5), while the i386 version fails to configure:

It appears GHC 7.10.1-rc2 doesn’t support glibc 2.11 — specifically, 2.11.1 (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) and 2.11.3 (Debian 6). glibc 2.12 (CentOS 6) seems to work fine. Symptoms include:

The bindist name does mention 'deb7', so perhaps this is all working as intended. However, similarly named bindists for GHC 7.8.* work fine with glibc 2.11.

In other news, I’m happy to say Halcyon now supports GHC 7.10.1-rc2 on CentOS 6 and 7, Debian 7, Fedora 19, 20, and 21, and Ubuntu 12 and 14. https://halcyon.sh/

$ halcyon install --ghc-version=7.10.1-rc2 --cabal-version=1.22.0.0

Best,

We are pleased to announce the second release candidate for GHC 7.10.1:

https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.10.1-rc2/

This includes the source tarball and bindists for 64bit/32bit Linux and Windows. Binary builds for other platforms will be available shortly. (CentOS 6.5 binaries are not available at this time like they were for 7.8.x). These binaries and tarballs have an accompanying SHA256SUMS file signed by my GPG key id (0x3B58D86F).

We plan to make the 7.10.1 release sometime in February of 2015.

Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release!
