Thanks! The clean rebuild worked.

This is a fixed bug
 

                http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2011
 

However I hadn’t realised that it’s in 6.8.2; I thought we’d
fixed it prior to the 6.8.2 release.
 

  
 

The workaround is simple: do a “make clean”.  (That’s why our
tests didn’t pick it up; they all start from clean.)

Hi, I found that the x86_64
binary package for version 6.4.1 can be installed successfully on my machine
(the x86_64 builds for higher versions either require libreadline.so.5 or have
problems with timer_create), and then I tried to use that to compile 6.8.2 from
source, but I got the following problem:



make[2]: Entering directory `.../ghc-6.8.2/libraries/base'

../../compiler/stage1/ghc-inplace -package-name base-3.0.1.0 -hide-all-packages
-split-objs -i -idist/build/autogen -idist/build -i. -Idist/build -Iinclude
-#include "HsBase.h" -odir dist/build -hidir dist/build -stubdir
dist/build -package rts-1.0 -O -fglasgow-exts -package-name base -XCPP
-idist/build  -H16m -O -O -Rghc-timing -fgenerics -c Control/Concurrent.hs
-o dist/build/Control/Concurrent.o  -ohi dist/build/Control/Concurrent.hi

ghc-6.8.2: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)

  (GHC version 6.8.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux):

        lookupVers1 base:GHC.Prim sym{tc}



Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug



<<ghc: 107290456 bytes, 19 GCs, 3592250/7424504 avg/max bytes residency
(3 samples), 20M in use, 0.00 INIT (0.00 elapsed), 0.17 MUT (0.23 elapsed),
0.06 GC (0.07 elapsed) :ghc>>



What is this problem? (I can use 6.4.1 but my programs were last developed with
6.8.1 and contains some function calls that are added later, so I would prefer
to use 6.8.1 and above) Thanks,



Di, Yu

Since you're using RHEL4, you could try grabbing a GHC source RPM for

Fedora and building that.  It might take a bit of tweaking, but probably

very little.  (For instructions on building binary RPMs from source,

Google around.)
