There seems to be a problem with ncurses 5.6 http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2008-July/015044.html We have Version 5.0.3. You may try (originally for SunOS leo 5.10 Generic_137111-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R) from http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets...

Hi,

I am having trouble with precompiled binary http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.8.3/maeder/ghc-6.8.3-sparc-sun-solaris2.ta....

My first problem was that the machine is 64-bit SPARC while the binary seems to be 32-bit. Since the dynamically linked GHC binary requires additional .so files to run, any libs which I try to compile on the machine itself run into ELF class incompatibility errors. So I tried installing prebuilt packages from http://sunfreeware.com/, and spent a couple hours grokking the Solaris package system before I figured out how to extract the right files. Now I think I have the right libs installed, but when I try to run GHC, I get this:

-bash-3.00$ runhaskell Setup configure ld.so.1: ghc-6.8.3: fatal: relocation error: file /home/.../lib/libncurses.so.5: symbol main: referenced symbol not found

(FYI, I got ncurses 5.6 from http://sunfreeware.com/programlistsparc10.html#ncurses.)

Any suggestions would be welcome, thanks in advance.
