Is anybody on 9.6.1 having problems profiling on a Mac? As I reported in https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/23211 ghc -prof -fprof-auto hello.hs where the file hello.hs consists of the line: main = print "hello" gets the error: Could not find module ‘Prelude’ Perhaps you haven't installed the "p_dyn" libraries for package ‘base-4.18.0.0’? It seems to me like a regression of the closed bug https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/20707. Thanks George

Perhaps you haven't installed the "p_dyn" libraries for package ‘base-4.18.0.0’?

On Debian Linux the probable cause would be that you have not installed ghc-dynamic. Is there a package missing on your Mac installation?

Thanks Henning. I just installed ghc 9.6.1. When I try ghc-dynamic I get $ cabal install --lib ghc-dynamic Error: cabal: Unknown package "ghc-dynamic". On Sun, May 14, 2023 at 4:47 PM Henning Thielemann < lemming@henning-thielemann.de> wrote:

`ghc-dynamic` would be an OS package, not cabal. On Mon, May 15, 2023 at 7:36 AM George Colpitts wrote:

If you installed ghc via ghcup, you shouldn't need it. If you installed via Homebrew, I don't know if they have a separate package for the dynamic libs or what it would be called; I use Linux and ghcup, and if I'd used the Ubuntu packages it would be "ghc-prof".

9.6.1 isn't available on ghcup. Homebrew doesn't have any packages ghc-prof or ghc-dynamic. Thanks George On Mon, May 15, 2023 at 8:52 AM Brandon Allbery wrote:

I made a mistake. Brandon is right: The package is called ghc-prof on Debian/Ubuntu, whereas ghc-dynamic is for the dyn object files.

Forgot to add that my current workaround is to compile with "-static -package-env=-" i.e. ghc -static -package-env=- -prof -fprof-auto hello.hs Adding just -package-env=- i.e. gives me the same error as compiling without it. ghc -package-env=- -prof -fprof-auto hello.hs [1 of 2] Compiling Main ( hello.hs, hello.o ) hello.hs:1:1: error: Could not find module ‘Prelude’ Perhaps you haven't installed the "p_dyn" libraries for package ‘base-4.18.0.0’?

Thanks for everybody's help, I have closed the issue https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/23211. Sorry for bothering everyone. As I wrote in the bug: @adamse </adamse>, @mpickering </mpickering>. You are right, there is something wrong about my environment file default. When I remove it I can compile with ghc -static -prof -fprof-auto hello.hs The need for -static is not documented as far as I know so I will file a doc bug. My apologies for not debugging this earlier. I will keep an eye out to see when an environment file gets created. Thanks again ! On Mon, May 15, 2023 at 9:11 AM George Colpitts wrote:
