ANNOUNCE: GHC 6.12.1 Release Candidate 2
Hi all, We are pleased to announce the second release candidate for GHC 6.12.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.12.1-rc2/ As well as the source tarball: ghc-6.12.0.20091121-src.tar.bz2 there are installers for Windows (i386) and OS X (i386), and binary distributions for x86_64/Linux and i386/Linux. For the Linux binary distributions, the "linux-n" tarballs are recommended over the "linux" tarballs. Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release! Thanks Ian, on behalf of the GHC team

Which ghc is in your path? It sounds like Cabal is finding your old GHC and trying to read its package database, but failing due to http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/609 Does that sound right? Thanks Ian

Yes, adding the new GHC to my PATH fixes the problem. It seems like that memory error is quite severe for trying to read a file with bad encoding—couldn't it fail with a simple "Bad encoding" exception or something? Alex

I'm surprised by the memory error too. It may be a real bug. Would you mind reporting it, including the full output of 'ghc-pkg dump' for the GHC that was in your PATH in the above? Cheers, Simon
We are pleased to announce the second release candidate for GHC 6.12.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.12.1-rc2/
Thank you!
For the Linux binary distributions, the "linux-n" tarballs are recommended over the "linux" tarballs.
Sorry if it is documented somewhere but what is the difference between them? Jens

The bindists without the -n are built by the nightly builders on something like a RedHat system. This has 2 libraries for ncurses: libncurses and libtinfo. Other systems, such as Debian, only have one library for ncurses: libncurses. If you try to use that bindist on such a system, then it will fail because it can't find libtinfo. The -n bindists are built manually on Debian, so only depend on libncurses. These binaries also work on systems with the split ncurses library. If anyone knows of an easy way to get the buildbots to output portable binaries, please let us know! Thanks Ian

If they work everywhere, then we should probably just supply the -n versions (and remove the -n suffix) to avoid confusion. Next time I reinstall our nightly builder machine I'll put some Debian derivative on it. Cheers, Simon

I just got to try it here and it seems to work. I had to install a few packages manually, but nothing hard. I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. I used cabal-install from the darcs repository -- I didn't try with the stable version, so I don't know if it would work. I've been compiling some of my code and everything worked so far. Thanks, GHC HQ! Paulo

The current darcs version of cabal-install works with 6.12. darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal-install/ Duncan

Yes it does. It just occurred to me that hsc2hs should probably be setting the encoding to UTF8 explicitly before reading Haskell source files. Cheers, Simon

This is partly the result of new behaviour in 6.12.1RC2. hGetContents now throws an exception if an I/O error is encountered, in a deliberate diversion from the Haskell 98 spec which says that it should terminate the stream silently. We decided that this was the pertinent thing to do given that people are quite likely to encounter decoding errors with the new Unicode-aware I/O library, and silently ignoring the error would lead to large amounts of confusion.

Thanks to the wonderfully precise error message, you were able to fix the problem and get going again. I declare this a victory :) Cheers, Simon
Here is a development test build for Fedora: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1824814 with shared libraries. :-) BTW I already succeeded in building a dynamically linked cabal-install rpm locally. For a comparison of size: 1.2M 2009-11-19 23:33 cabal-install-0.7.5-0.fc13.x86_64.rpm (static) 319K 2009-11-23 18:52 cabal-install-0.7.5-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm (dynamic) With thanks and congratulations to those who finally gave us working shared libraries on Linux! :) Happily, Jens ps This should all be landing in fedora development (rawhide) for F13 before too long.
