| I was compiling the Ports library with ghc-5.02.2 using the | native code generator (on Linux/i386), and the compiler | declared itself buggy with the following message: | | --- command line: | /usr/bin/ghc -c Ports.hs -fasm -O -recomp -package concurrent | -package lang -package posix | | ghc-5.02.2: panic!

Yes, the native code generator in 5.02.2 doesn't do primops. (It does in the HEAD.) You so you can't use -fasm for it. | I was using the "-fasm" option in order to avoid a bug that | happens when using the C code generator with the "-O" | option (I submitted a report for this one on GHC's page on | SourceForge). Yes, this bug too is fixed in the HEAD. There is a workaround for it; use -x in your 'ld' command line. | Loading package ports ... linking ... | /usr/local/lib/ports-0.3.3/ghc5/portsHS.o: unknown symbol | `__stginit_Concurrent' | ghc-5.02.2: panic! (the `impossible' happened, GHC version 5.02.2): | can't load package `ports' | | I made the "ports.conf" file myself, it simply declares the | package "ports" with appropriate paths and with | hs_libraries=["portsHS"], with no extra library or compiler options. You need to make the ports package depend on the concurrent package, using an entry in ports.conf. The package config files are documented in the user guide. Admittedly, the error message is not very illuminating.
