I have been using LDAP with GHC without a problem – I get this error often but the problems have been with the configuration of the OpenLDAP client library or the OpenLDAP server. We are all taking about LDAP-0.6.6? Which version of GHC are we talking about? (I don’t think I have tested this on GHC-7.4.1, and maybe the others haven’t either.)

I just found that the code works with ghci, too. So to sum up, ghci/runhaskell works, ghc not. A possibility that occurs to me: does it by any chance work with ghc -threaded? Perhaps the issue relates to the different behavior of the threaded runtime (which is used automatically by ghci/runghc). -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
