#17184: ghc 6.10.1 upgrade failing on powerpc G4 ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: macports@mightyreason.com | Owner: gwright@macports.org Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: ghc segmentation fault Port: ghc | ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Comment(by macports@mightyreason.com): I also posted this error to glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org and they pointed out a suspiciously similar error in their error tracking system: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2380 So I think the answer may be to use 6.8.3 instead of 6.8.2 as the bootstrap compiler. Note that I already have the macports ghc-6.8.3 installed. Is it possible for the 6.10.1 installer to detect this and use it instead of its own 6.8.2 binary? As for working binaries, the ghc-6.10.1 from http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/mac/ghcs which redirects to http://www.informatik.uni- bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/mac/ghcs/ is what I am now using until the macports will install. There is also an intel version of the above at http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/intel-mac/ghcs which redirects to http://www.informatik.uni- bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/intel-mac/ghcs/ -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17184#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
