Re: Weird failure of ghc-7.0.2 on OS X 10.5 using the bindist tarball

No, I have xcode installed (which is mainly needed for gcc, ar, ld, etc.). I have lots of other GHC versions installed as well, so I don't think that's the issue. I think Duncan has been working on dtrace support, so maybe he has an idea. (CC'd). On 11 March 2011 18:51, Don Stewart wrote:

Missing XCode? Or is that not  relevant?

I installed ghc (x86) from the bindist tarball like so:

$ wget http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.0.2/ghc-7.0.2-i386-apple-darwin.tar.bz2 $ tar -xjf ghc-7.0.2-i386-apple-darwin.tar.bz2 $ cd ghc-7.0.2-i386-apple-darwin $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local $ make install

$ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.0.2

GHCi works fine:

$ ghc -e 3+4 7

However, if I want to compile a test file I get a weird dtrace error.

$ cat test.hs main = print 42

$ ghc --make test.hs [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( test.hs, test.o ) Linking test ... error: Could not compile reconstructed dtrace script:

Any idea what's going on there?
