Re: No luck installing on SuSE 7.1
Dear William, using Manuel's SRPM I have built RPMs for SuSE 7.1. Would you like to serve as a beta-tester for these builds? I am not very confident whether the dependencies are ok. Generating the documentation for GHC was a mess; the SGML tools in the SuSE 7.1 distribution seem to be broken and I used the 7.0 tools (which are broken as well, but at least I was able to fix them). I placed the packages here http://www.informatik.uni-bonn.de/~ralf/ghc-5.00-2.src.rpm http://www.informatik.uni-bonn.de/~ralf/ghc-5.00-2.i386.rpm http://www.informatik.uni-bonn.de/~ralf/ghc-prof-5.00-2.i386 http://www.informatik.uni-bonn.de/~ralf/happy-1.9-1.i386.rpm Please let me know if you encounter any problems. BTW I have no idea why GHC from CVS does not work on your machine. Sorry.

RE: No luck installing on SuSE 7.1
Hi William, It's not your day, is it? :) You seem to have tripped over just about all the nasty bugs in 5.00. Hi, I'm trying to get GHC 5.00 installed on my SuSE 7.1 box. I have tried (a) the binary distribution, (b) the source distribution, (c) a CVS snapshot. The binary distribution ghc-5.00-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 does to some extent work if I either install libreadline.so.3 manually or just symlink it to libreadline.so.4. I can compile and run trivial programs and use ghci a bit. Yep, we'll be removing the dependency on readline in the standard binary distribution for 5.00.1 - too many people were burned by this. However the toy exe I build terminates with an Illegal instruction signal (whether or not I use -via-C), and the same quite quickly happens to ghci if I play around. If I copy the toy exe onto a Mandrake (~ RedHat) 6.0 machine I get the same. (If I copy it onto an RH5 machine I get segfault instead.) This was caused by a misconfiguration problem with the GMP library in the binary distribution (it configured itself for i686, with the result that it doesn't work on i586 and lower), 5.00.1 will have the fix. The source distribution ghc-5.00-src.tar.bz2, with ghc-5.00-i386-hc.tar.bz2 overlaid on it, gets some way through compilation (using distrib/hc-build) and then fails: There were several problems with bootstrapping from .hc files in 5.00, and this is something we're concentrating on for 5.00.1. The CVS snapshot I obtained tonight, with ghc-5.00-i386-hc.tar.bz2 overlaid on it, gets some way through compilation (using autoconf and distrib/hc-build), and then fails as follows: again, another problem with .hc bootstrapping. P.S. I can see now why the ocaml team keep the bytecode interpreter alive---it does make bootstrapping an awful lot easier ... P.P.S. By the way I __love__ `echo | sed 's/^$/-DSTOLEN_X86_REGS=4/'` ;-) [polishes fingernails] Cheers, and sorry for all the hassle - 5.00.1 will be greatly improved, trust me :) Simon ___ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
RE: No luck installing on SuSE 7.1
The Illegal Instruction problem is known to us and will be fixed in the upcoming 5.00.1 release, as will a bunch of other bugs. We mistakenly configured GMP for i686-unknown-linux and thereby got a GMP in GHC which uses PII/PIII specific insns which don't exist on earlier (Pentium-I class) processors. Regarding the segfault, I don't know ... could be one of many problems. If you send us a test program, we can check whether or not it segs out using the current stable sources.
