#15142: ghc 6.8.2 fails to build Adjustor.o (bus error, segmentation fault) on PowerPC --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: gwright@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: ghc | --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment(by mike.vasiljevs@…): Replying to [comment:26 gwright@…]:

This was apparently a bug in the gcc provided by certain versions of Xcode. AFAIK, the latest versions for Tiger/ppc and Leopard/ppc work.

Hi, I have just did the following: {{{ $ sudo port selfupdate $ sudo port clean --all ghc $ sudo port -dv destroot ghc > dest.log 2>&1 }}} and i still get "make[1]: *** [Apply.o] Bus error" I have checked for the latest XCode/gcc on developer.apple.com and I seem to have the latest, it has not been update for a while :/. If a newer version for Tiger/ppc is required than that available on apple's site, would that imply buiding it myself? Or would you recommend filing another report?
