GHC on Solaris Nevada
Hello all, I am trying to get a working GHC on Solaris Nevada (Solaris 11). I've tried the binary versions for Solaris 10 made by Christian Maeder. I couldn't get GHC 6.8.2 to install properly and GHC 6.6 does not work (it crashes the moment it needs to link to a library). After that i tried to make an unregistered bootstrap of GHC 6.6 using Linux as the host OS. The bootstrapping failed on Solaris when making genapply or cabal-setup. The linker reports symbol referencing errors. Has someone already successfully build GHC on Solaris 11? Regards, Felix

What are the exact error messages? Do you have all required libraries (see below)?

bootstrapping from C seems to be pretty hopeless. Maybe my new binary release is easier to install: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.8.2/maeder/ghc-6.8.2-i386-unknown-solaris2... see also http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.glasgow.user/13868 Christian -bash-3.1$ ldd lib/ghc-6.8.2/ghc-6.8.2 librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 libreadline.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.5 libncurses.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/libncurses.so.5 libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2 libgmp.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libgmp.so.3 libpthread.so.1 => /lib/libpthread.so.1 libc.so.1 => /lib/libc.so.1 libaio.so.1 => /lib/libaio.so.1 libmd5.so.1 => /lib/libmd5.so.1 libiconv.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.2 libsocket.so.1 => /lib/libsocket.so.1 libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 libmp.so.2 => /lib/libmp.so.2 libscf.so.1 => /lib/libscf.so.1 libdoor.so.1 => /lib/libdoor.so.1 libuutil.so.1 => /lib/libuutil.so.1 libgen.so.1 => /lib/libgen.so.1

Sorry, my new binary is at: http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/pc-solaris/versions/ghc-6.8.2-i386-unknown-solar... C.

Your new release installed ok, but GHC does not work on my system. I can compile a simple hello world program, but running ghci or doing other compilations result in program termination of GHC and the terminal. GHC 6.6 did the same.

I have located the problem i had with GHC. I had compiled the readline library from a spec file. Apparently it is not compatible with the binary GHC release. With the prebuilt readline package from sunfreeware GHC works fine now. Regards, Felix

Your ldd output looks nice. Is it still that simple after you've update your readline lib? Most of my above libs get in via libreadline: -bash-3.1$ ldd /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.5 warning: ldd: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.5: is not executable libiconv.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.2 libsocket.so.1 => /lib/libsocket.so.1 libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2 libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 libc.so.1 => /lib/libc.so.1 libmp.so.2 => /lib/libmp.so.2 libmd5.so.1 => /lib/libmd5.so.1 libscf.so.1 => /lib/libscf.so.1 libdoor.so.1 => /lib/libdoor.so.1 libuutil.so.1 => /lib/libuutil.so.1 libgen.so.1 => /lib/libgen.so.1 I've not idea about /lib/libaio.so.1 (Possibly our system is set up suboptimal.)
