integer-simple

Sat Jul 30 23:37:24 CEST 2011

Hi All,

I thought I may as well try the same experiment 7.2.1-RC1 on completely
different hardware (a network v-server running CentOS 5 with ghc-6.12.3
installed) and indeed:

ghci

GHCi, version 7.2.0.20110728: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help

Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.

Loading package integer-simple ... linking ... ghc:
/usr/local/ghc/7.2.0.20110728/lib/ghc-7.2.0.20110728/integer-simple-0.1.0.0/
HSinteger-simple-0.1.0.0.o: unknown symbol
`base_ControlziExceptionziBase_patError_info'

ghc: unable to load package `integer-simple'

This has to be the way I am configuring the build - as y'all can see I am
configuring with a non-standard prefix, but otherwise it is a case of a
clean build from virginal sources with the appended build.mk.

I think I am going to have to start looking at the failure mechanism.

I tried building an integer-simple 7.2.1-RC1 with 7.0.3 binary-install on
Ubuntu 11.04.  ghci is still not happy:

chris at Ubuntu-11:~/etc$ ghci

GHCi, version 7.2.0.20110728: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help

Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.

Loading package integer-simple ... linking ... ghc:
/usr/local/ghc/7.2.0.20110728/lib/ghc-7.2.0.20110728/integer-simple-0.1.0.0/
HSinteger-simple-0.1.0.0.o: unknown symbol
`base_ControlziExceptionziBase_patError_info'

ghc: unable to load package `integer-simple'

I ran the test suite on one of my previous  errant builds (also 7.2.1-RC1 I
think). The results summary is below.

I am not surprised at this Ubuntu result - there is clearly something about
the way I am doing this that can trigger the problem on any post-6.12.1
source tree on any O/S.

The hardware is a common factor - I should try varying that I guess.

Note that 6.12.3 is quite old now, and neither that branch or the 7.0 branch
are still being developed.

By "quick test" do you mean the "quickest" build flavour from
mk/build.mk.sample?

I've just validated HEAD with INTEGER_LIBRARY=integer-simple and the build
went through fine, and ghci works.

Thanks

Ian
