Re: GHC bus error on Network.BSD.getHostByName

Hello all,

Before I file a bug maybe someone might recognize the following error and knows if I should blame GHC or someone at Apple. When trying to use the Network.BSD.getHostByName function ghci exits with a bus error. The same thing happens with ghc --make and runghc.

Hey Sebastiaan! Did you try "cabal install -O2 --global --reinstall network"? I haven't tried GHC on Snow Leopard yet, but there was a thread on haskell-cafe about which files you need to hack to tell Snow Leopard's tools to build/link/etc in 32-bit mode. I suspect that might be the issue here. G -- Gregory Collins
