[Apologies if this trans up twice, but Gmane seems to have dumped it it.] I don't know whether or not this is appropriate for the bug tracker:
I just had someone complain at not being able to run one of the distributed binaries (http://wiki.darcs.net/Binaries#gnulinux) to access a repo of mine, and I can reproduce the problem. Running http://teratorn.org/code/darcs-2.5.0-linux-amd64-ghc6.12.3-CURL-static.bin.bz2 on 64-bit RedHat 5 yields $ ./darcs-2.5.0-linux-amd64-ghc6.12.3-CURL-static.bin -h darcs-2.5.0-linux-amd64-ghc6.12.3-CURL-static.bin: mkTextEncoding: invalid argument (Invalid argument) However, on Ubuntu 10.4, I get the normal help screen. I assumed when he complained with that message that it was locale-specific, but both systems are utf-8, and trying LC_ALL=C doesn't help. The 32-bit static binary (http://teratorn.org/code/darcs-2.5.0-linux-i386-ghc6.12.3-CURL-static.bin.bz2) doesn't seem to have the problem, and I have a working shared build of my own, of course. I don't have time to try to figure out what's happening, and maybe it's not worthwhile. Perhaps someone who can edit the wiki could at least put a note on the Binaries page about it, and suggest trying the 32-bit one. Alternatively, I could try a static build myself, and provide it if it works, but I seem to remember it wasn't obvious how to do so when I tried before. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list darcs-users@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
