[Haskell-cafe] Re: ghc 6.8.2 and timer_create error

This was discussed in http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2008-March/014498.htm... Your final guess is correct. #undef HAVE_TIMER_CREATE and/or USE_TIMER_CREATE in mk/config.h HTH Christian Anatoly Yakovenko wrote:

I have a gentoo box with ghc 6.8.2, and the binaries that ghc builds on that box do not work on redhat EL 4 or ubuntu 7.10. When I try to run the binary, i get an error:

Main: timer_create: Invalid argument

so is there any way to get ghc to build a binary that doesn't use timer_create? or is that something that is configured when ghc itself is built, if so, how do I turn that feature off?

Thanks
