I use a number of different programming languages, so I have Haskell Platform, Strawberry Perl, Node.js, RVM, and Git Bash installed at the same time.
I've noticed that compiling packages with C dependencies (e.g. using node-gyp during "npm install node-mhash", or doing "cpan install PAR::Packer") often crashes during the build process with a popup: The procedure entry point __gxx_personality_sj0 could not be located in the dynamic link library libstdc++-6.dll. As Roderich Schupp points out<https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=84949>, it appears that the different libstdc++-6.dll's are interfering with one another. Haskell Platform comes with one, Vagrant comes with one, GIMP comes with one, MinGW comes with one, and Strawberry Perl comes with two! Objdump seems to indicate that Haskell Platform's DLL is the one to blame. $ find /c/ -name libstdc++-6.dll 2>/dev/null /c/DevKit/mingw/bin/libstdc++-6.dll /c/Program Files/GIMP 2/bin/libstdc++-6.dll /c/Program Files/Haskell Platform/2012.4.0.0/mingw/bin/libstdc++-6.dll /c/strawberry/c/bin/libstdc++-6.dll /c/strawberry/perl/bin/libstdc++-6.dll /c/vagrant/vagrant/embedded/mingw/bin/libstdc++-6.dll $ objdump -ax /c/DevKit/mingw/bin/libstdc++-6.dll | ack gxx_personality [3896] __gxx_personality_sj0 $ objdump -ax /c/Program\ Files/GIMP\ 2/bin/libstdc++-6.dll | ack gxx_personality [3499] __gxx_personality_sj0 $ objdump -ax /c/Program\ Files/Haskell\ Platform/2012.4.0.0/mingw/bin/libstdc++-6.dll | ack gxx_personality [3401] __gxx_personality_v0 $ objdump -ax /c/strawberry/c/bin/libstdc++-6.dll | ack gxx_personality [3510] __gxx_personality_sj0 $ objdump -ax /c/strawberry/perl/bin/libstdc++-6.dll | ack gxx_personality [3510] __gxx_personality_sj0 $ objdump -ax /c/vagrant/vagrant/embedded/mingw/bin/libstdc++-6.dll | ack gxx_personality [3896] __gxx_personality_sj0 Would updating Haskell Platform's libstdc++-6.dll fix this issue? Is there some way to cordon Haskell Platform off from the rest of the system, while still making ghc.exe and friends available on PATH? Here are my system specs, I figure they're highly relevant. $ specs haskell perl node ruby git os Specs: specs 0.4 https://github.com/mcandre/specs#readme cabal --version cabal-install version 0.14.0 using version 1.14.0 of the Cabal library ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.4.2 ghc-pkg field haskell-platform version version: 2012.4.0.0 cpan --version c:\strawberry\perl\bin/cpan version 1.5902 calling Getopt::Std::getopts (version 1.07 [paranoid]), running under Perl version 5.16.2.
