RE: combination not supported: Threaded/Profiling when building NDP library
H Shelarcy, Thanks for your reply. I have removed the -threaded when building the library and now everything builds correctly and the examples are all working. However, I would like to explore porting the library to use a small FFI library which will allow exporting flattened data parallel operations to a vector array processor that I'm working with. With this in mind I wanted to check that as this the library is not concerned with SMP and thus I will not expect the ported version of NDP to call GHC's SMP concurrency primitives, as I believe it does at the moment, then I need not be concerned with this option not being enabled, even at link time?

combination not supported: Threaded/Profiling when building NDP library
Hello Having read the papers on Nested Data Parallelism in the Haskell I wanted to play around with the de-sugared implementation in the GHC library NDP. I have built GHC from source, on RHE5, and then installed the NDP library from the tar ball. Following the build instructions in the README I got to building the library which resulted in the following error being reported: ghc-6-6.1: combination not supported: Threaded/Profiling This seems to be down to the fact that -prof and -threaded have been specified on a particular build line, although I emit not to be completely sure about this. Looking through the GHC page on its SMP support it seems to imply that the option -threaded is not needed when building code, rather when linking a parallel program, but it is unclear if this is the case when building a library such as NDP. Having scanned through the GHC source tree it seems that -prof is referenced in numerous places such that it would be a bit of a pain to have to remove these over removing the single reference to -threaded in the ndp.mk file. Thanks for any help that you can provide on this. Many Regards, Ben Benedict R.
