Hi all
I tried compiling ghc 6.7 during the night. I used the following script: ... Failed to load interface for `System.IO': Use -v to see a list of the files searched for. ghc-6.7.20070810: panic! (the 'impossible' happened) (GHC version 6.7.20070810 for i386-unknown-linux): interactiveUI:setBuffering
Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
Is this really a bug or am I doing something wrong?
This is almost certainly a bug, and you are at least the fourth person affected. Magnus Therning claimed on the #ghc IRC channel earlier to have a complete fix, which will be published in a few hours after he's awake again. (As a check, you may want to try *compiling* a trivial module. The symptom seen by the previous three people was "Failed to load interface for `Prelude', and the 'ghc-pkg list' reveals only ghc and rts.) Stefan
