Re: [ANNOUNCE] GHC 9.4.1-rc1 is now available

Hi Ben /ust/bin/xattr exists on my machine. Running "xattr -rc ." manually does not fix the bug as noted at the start of 21506. It was sufficient in the past but no longer fixes this error. As noted farther down in 21506 the workaround given in #17418 no longer works. It did not work in 9.2.2 either. The current workaround is similar to what Kazu explained in https://twitter.com/kazu_yamamoto/status/1500643489985761282 sudo xattr -rc . sudo spctl --global-disable ./configure sudo make install sudo spctl --global-enable It seems there are files created during sudo make install that have an issue as xattr -rc . was never run on them. Perhaps this is related to using Hadrian. Is it possible that the fix that was made was never tested? Thanks George On Sat, Jul 23, 2022 at 12:30 AM Ben Gamari wrote:

Hi Ben,

I expected https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/21506 (ghc-9.4.1-alpha1 does not install on macos: ghc-pkg-9.4.0-20220501 cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified) to be fixed in rc1 but it is not. Are my expectations wrong? What is the ETA for fixing it?

Thanks for letting us know, George. The fix that we have [1] is present in 9.4.1-rc1. If that commit doesn't resolve the issue then there is something that we don't understand. Does `/usr/bin/xattr` exist? Running `xattr -rc` manually on the binary distribution allow you to run the compiler?

Cheers,

- Ben
