Hi Henning, I can't reproduce this error you are seeing. How are you
installing the compiler? GHC should use the in-tree libffi which is
the correct version.

The GHC developers are happy to announce the availability of the first (and likely last) release candidate of GHC 9.4.1. Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available at [downloads.haskell.org].
I try
https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/9.4.1-rc1/ghc-9.4.0.20220721-x86_64-deb11-...
on Debian 11.
$ /usr/local/ghc-9.4.0/bin/ghc --version /usr/local/ghc-9.4.0/lib/ghc-9.4.0.20220721/bin/ghc-9.4.0.20220721: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Debian 11 seems to support only libffi7:
$ dpkg --list "*libffi*"
ii libffi-dev:amd64 3.3-6 amd64 Foreign Function Interface library (development files) un libffi4-dev <keine> <keine> (keine Beschreibung vorhanden) ii libffi7:amd64 3.3-6 amd64 Foreign Function Interface library runtime ii libffi7:i386 3.3-6 i386 Foreign Function Interface library runtime
I think this dependency is new and was not present in the Alpha releases.
