  * summary:  Compiler error under  Fedora Core 5 with hs-plugins =>
              Incompatibility between GHC and tmpfs ?

Comment:

 Apparently the problem was due to the fact that the /tmp directory, that
 is used by default by hs-plugins to compile, was on the tmpfs filesystem.


 In my /etc/fstab, /tmp is mapped as follows:

 none /tmp  tmpfs  defaults,noexec,nosuid   0 0


 When I set the TMPDIR directory, that is used by hs-plugin to determine
 where to create its temporary files, to a directory on my hard disk the
 "failed loadObj" error disappeared.

 It would seem that there is an incompatibility between GHC and tmpfs.
