Comment(by serpentologist):
Unfortunately i'm a complete newbie in Haskell. I'm just going to start
learning it and hardly can read the source code, so it's unlikely i will
be able to isolate the problem and reproduce it per se.
The steps i took:
1) I installed GHC 7.0.2 (http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.0.2/ghc-7.0.2-i386
-unknown-linux.tar.bz2) using default settings
(./configure && sudo make install)
2) Then i installed Haskell-Platform (haskell-platform-2011.2.0.0.tar.gz)
(./configure && make && sudo make install)
3) Then i followed instructions from
http://plucky.cs.yale.edu/cs431/software_resources.htm page
cabal update
cabal install darcs --flags="http -curl"
added export PATH=~/.cabal/bin:$PATH to .bashrc
mkdir HSoM && cd HSoM
darcs get http://code.haskell.org/Euterpea
cd Euterpea
cabal install
GHC got stuck at src/Euterpea/Audio/Render.hs file. It did not complain
about any errors but it kept running for about 5 hours consuming 90% of
CPU time so i was forced to interrupt it. The memory usage was not high -
8% of the 2G.
