Re: [Haskell-cafe] ghc-7.4 on CentOS-5.8 ?

Whether you are trying to build your own GHC compilers on CentOS 5 or just get a working GHC, http://justhub.org/download is a good place to start as you will be able to get a variety of compilers and platforms and the GCC and binutils packages used to build them (installed in /usr/hs/gcc and /usr/hs/binutils).

I need to use a more recent version of gcc that than supplied with RHEL5.6. Tim On 27/06/2012, at 5:33 PM, Johannes Waldmann wrote:

Dear all,

I need a recent ghc on a not-so-recent (?) CentOS.

The ghc binary package (7.2 or 7.4) does not work because of a mismatch in the libc version.

ghc-7.0 is working but when I use it to compile 7.4, it breaks with some linker error (relocation R_X86_64_PC32 ...) it also suggests "recompile with -fPIC" but I don't see how.

(In this particular case, I absolutely cannot change/update the OS.)

Thanks, J.W.
