Hi. I've spent some time trying to setup the Haskell Platform on CentOS 5.5: # cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.18-028stab070.14 (root@rhel5-build-x64) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)) #1 SMP Thu Nov 18 16:04:02 MSK 2010 I've compiled from source, similar to what is done here: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2010-April/076489.html Installation of GHC 7.0.2 failed: # ./configure --prefix=/usr/haskell-platform-2011.2.0.0/ checking for path to top of build tree... utils/ghc-pwd/dist/build/tmp/ghc-pwd: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.9' not found (required by utils/ghc-pwd/dist/build/tmp/ghc-pwd) utils/ghc-pwd/dist/build/tmp/ghc-pwd: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by utils/ghc-pwd/dist/build/tmp/ghc-pwd) configure: error: cannot determine current directory I had to use GHS 6.12.3 which compiled without errors. However when I tried installing the Haskell Platform I ran into problems. Briefly, this is what I did and what happened trying to "make" it: wget http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/2010.2.0.0/haskell-platform-2010.2.0.0.t... unpack... ./configure --prefix=/usr/haskell-platform-2010.2.0.0/ make # make scripts/build.sh ************************************************** Scanning system for any installed Haskell Platform components... Found:None. New packages to install: None! All done. ************************************************** Building "/usr/haskell-platform-2010.2.0.0/bin/ghc" "--make" "Setup" "-o" "Setup" "-package" "Cabal-1.8.0.6" Linking Setup ... collect2: ld terminated with signal 15 [Terminated] Error: Compiling the Setup script failed make: *** [build.stamp] Error 2 I first thought it was related to the fact that Cabal was using the /tmp directory for executables, but the alias trick (alias cabal="TMPDIR=/foo cabal") did not help. Anyone have got any ideas on what might be causing this? Can it me any missing dependencies? I've gone through the list described at http://www.vex.net/~trebla/haskell/haskell-platform.xhtml and used "yum install" to get the software mentioned. Regards, Frode
