Re: [Haskell-cafe] haskell platform questions

BTW, I started to try the macports method (thinking that maybe building on my machine would resolve the linker problem), but the package up there seems to be the old one: $ port info haskell-platform haskell-platform @2009.2.0.2 (devel, haskell) Description: This is the the Haskell Platform: a single, standard Haskell distribution for every system. The Haskell Platform is a blessed library and tool suite for Haskell distilled from Hackage. Homepage: http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ Runtime Dependencies: ghc, hs-platform-cgi, hs-platform-fgl, hs- platform-editline, hs-platform-GLUT, hs-platform-haskell-src, hs- platform-html, hs-platform-HUnit, hs-platform-mtl, hs-platform-network, hs-platform-OpenGL, hs-platform-parallel, hs- platform-parsec, hs-platform-QuickCheck, hs-platform-regex-base, hs- platform-regex-compat, hs-platform-regex-posix, hs-platform-stm, hs-platform-time, hs-platform-xhtml, hs- platform-zlib, hs-platform-HTTP, hs-platform-alex, hs-platform-happy, hs-platform-cabal Platforms: darwin License: unknown Maintainers: gwright@macports.org Maybe the dependencies haven't changed? Also, not a big deal, but the instructions for the dmg version here http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/new/mac.html page say to follow the instructions, but there aren't any packaged with it. I mistakenly ran the "Haskell Platform 2010.1.0.0" installer first thinking that maybe it would install ghc as a dependency, but this crashed. Then I uninstalled everything, installed GHC-6.12.1- i386.pkg, then "Haskell Platform 2010.1.0.0", and rebooted... and then experienced the cabal problem. BTW, there's some description of linker flags here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151112 but the developer claims 10.5.8 solved his problems (that's what I'm on).

I'm still on 10.5.8. I don't have cabal-install installed yet, but I just installed GHC-6.12.1/HP-2010.1.0.0. I can verify that ghci works fine so far. I'll check out cabal-install in the next couple days.

If there is an issue here it'd be with the binaries that ship with the platform, not GHC; can you check /usr/local/bin/cabal to see if yours has the same issue?

I'm betting I probably have to re-link the binaries with some magic "don't break on Leopard" linker flag.
