http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_6_10_4.html#x86solaris is supposed to work under open solaris, too. Cheers Christian

Hello Christin,
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_6_10_4.html#x86solaris is supposed to work under open solaris, too.
it does actually, quite nicely too, in the *global* zone. It's just when I try to install it into a separate zone the install fails. Have you managed to install it into a zone yourself? Best regards Günther

How does it fail? Could you paste your failing message.

What do you mean by "zone"? I managed to install this ghc into an other location than /usr/local by giving a prefix to configure: ./configure --prefix=~/myghc gmake install Surely, ~/myghc/bin should be in (or added to) your PATH then.

A Solaris zone is a mechanism similar to FreeBSD jails and (somewhat like) a chroot. It's a separate virtual world, with its own network interfaces, filesystem, etc. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_Containers -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se

Hello Lars, did you happen to manage ghc-6.10.4 in a zone? I suspect there are some packages I failed to install into the zone, but I'm not certain. Günther Am 29.04.10 23:19, schrieb Lars Viklund:

No, I've never used zones, I just read up about them in the past. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
