*** GHC 7
The ghc7 binaries are compiled against a newer version of glibc than is available on RHEL/CentOS. It works fine if you compile ghc7 from source yourself (you can use 6.12 for that).
| Did it? I tried to do that, but I got errors about needing -fPIC. I | tried to mess with CFLAGS, but couldn't make it work out. According to | somebody on #haskell (I apologize for forgetting whom), the problem was | really a too old GCC version. It's a shame it's so hard to setup Haskell on CentOS. I guess compiling GHC 7 from source takes a lot of time (?). It would be nice to know if anyone at all has managed. *** HASKELL PLATFORM
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
Does anyone know why the Haskell Platform won't install though? 2010.2.0.0 should work with GHC 6.12. The "collect2: ld" error message above gives no meaning to me. Has anyone succeeded installing the Haskell Platform on CentOS 5.5? [k]
