Do you happen to use template haskell?  It looks like the interpreter is trying to load llvm, which is currently not supported.  That doesn't explain why it works with ghc --make though.  Do you do anything special in your .cabal file?

I do use template haskell for deriving binary instances for some data types and getting proper version tags. But shouldn't touch llvm parts at all. The cabal file is as basic as it gets. If I drop template-haskell (and with it pretty large part of my program) cabal does not complain. LLVM library does not in general work in ghci, but how does this affect cabal? Simple work-around is to make a monolithic .so/dylib out of LLVM and modify LLVM bindings package to use that instead of linking to .a files. (Either by hand or using svn version on llvm that supports ./configure --enable-shared). This is rather lot of work though. Ville

Hi!

I'm trying to get cabal build my toy compiler, which is based on llvm bindings on hackage. Everything is fine with ghc --make, but with cabal install I get:

Loading package llvm-0.7.1.1 ... <command line>: can't load .so/.DLL for: LLVMSystem (dlopen(libLLVMSystem.dylib, 9): image not found) cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: QV-0.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was: ExitFailure 1

This is done on os x 10.5.8, if that has any relevance.

Anyone got any hints on how to proceed with this?
