Bizarre - this just happened to me today, too. Anyone? Did you figure out a work around? For the record, I'm trying to bring Euterpea up.
After some digging, experimenting, asking around, and head scratching my best guesses are: * GHCi's custom linker isn't doing the right thing (some versions of llvm/clang gave crashes like this and it was a linker bug for them, you can find reports on sites like StackOverflow). * We need to feed .m files to clang instead of ghc/gcc * GHCi needs to be built with Cocoa in mind (is it already?) * Some rts component of objective-c is not properly initialized (ARC vs. -fobjc-gc vs. -fnext-step, etc)
My system is OS X 10.8.4, and I'm running HP 2013.2, so 7.6.3. And GLFW-0.5.1.0.
What version of the xcode command line tools do you have? Anything older than 4.6.2 might have had the linker bugs I mention. On the other hand, I've tried with the latest version installed and it didn't help (probably because ghci doesn't use it). In terms of experimentation, you can hand desugar the objective-c code in the GLFW init and when I do that I get segfaults. Also, the address mentioned in the objective-c exception has a suspicious value, which would further implicate the linker. Add to that, it works for a compile program (which uses the system linker, IIRC). Basically, I'm pretty sure it's GHCi's linker to blame here but I don't have a smoking gun. Jason
