Message: 1 From: "ADAMS,RICHARD (Non-HP-Roseville,ex1)" <richard_adams@non.hp.com> To: "'haskell@haskell.org'" <haskell@haskell.org> Subject: Question concerning ftp and GHC binaries for HP-UX Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2001 12:24:15 -0700

I would like to download the GHC binaries to our HP 9000 machine (HP-UX 11.0), but have access only to ftp (i.e., no Web browser is available). Does anyone know what ftp address to use? Also, does anyone know whether the GHC binaries for the HP-UX operating system will work on HP-UX 11.0?

I am not sure whether it is relevant, but I use Reflection terminal emulation to telnet from my PC to the HP 9000 machine. Truly 'hi-tech' :) .

Thank you.

Sincerely,

I encountered the same problem of downloading with ftp. However, even if you succeeded in downloading, I guess it would not work as we wish:(. The system I use is HP-UX 11.00 (64-bit) HPPA 2.0. And I downloaded the version 4.08.2 for hppa1.1-hp-hpux with HTTP. It ran (without explicit errors) and output sth when input sth.hs. However, each time when I ran the sth, I got core dump. I tried to recompile the compiler (or even Happy), of course, failed with the same symptom (or unHappy). If I know anyone has successfully run GHC without incurring core dumps in HP-UX 11.00 (64-bit), I'll be very happy if Happy works too:). If I have enough time, I wish I could port it to HP-UX 11.00 (64-bit). I'm very glad to know if there exists somebody who will aid me or play together with me over 64-bit ghc for 64-bit HPUXes. Should I attack the problem from HBC or nhc98? One more bad news, SMLNJ works on HP-UX 10.20, not on HP-UX 11.00, either:-(. I've tried and failed too. One more good news, Hugs98-Feb2001 does work in HP-UX 11.00 (64-bit). I swear, where only very few tweaks are needed. But I guess it's running in 32-bit mode:-). The last kisstion: Can I build ghc from Hugs, my god? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo! Mail. http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/
