ghc 6.8.2 cabal won't run

[Holden Karau]

Binary package hint: ghc6

hkarau@htop:~/repos/repos/spam/haskell/libs/hsemail-1.2$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04
ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.8.2

I installed the new ghc6 package and now cabal packages won't install. I've tried hsemail, old-time, & old-local.
for example:

runghc Setup.lhs
<interactive>: /usr/lib/ghc-6.8.2/lib/Cabal-1.2.3.0/HSCabal-1.2.3.0.o: unknown symbol `oldzmtimezm1zi0zi0zi0_SystemziTime_a97_closure'
ghc-6.8.2: unable to load package `Cabal-1.2.3.0'

If I run strace on it:
strace runghc Setup.lhs

[Holden Karau (holden-pigscanfly)]

Repo steps:
1)Install the ghc6 package
2)Download a cabal package (see http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/hackage.html for a list)
3)Untar it
4)run "runghc Setup.hs" or "runghc Setup.lhs" (depending on the setup instructions)
5)Note that cabal fails to run with missing symbol oldzmtimezm1zi0zi0zi0_SystemziTime_a97_closure

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

hm... at first glimpse, looks like s.th. from the ghc6 transition still needs a rebuilt. What arch are you using? (sparc and lpia haven't most probably caught up yet).

[Holden Karau (holden-pigscanfly)]

x86

[Holden Karau (holden-pigscanfly)]

Is there anything additional information which would help?
Would you like me to re-build the package from sources?

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

not at the moment; seems like my initial guess wasn't right. I'll first need to take a closer look, maybe I'll then have questions ;).

[Holden Karau (holden-pigscanfly)]

I just installed ghc-6.8.2 from the ghc site ( http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_682.html ) from source and the cabal packages run. It is the same source ball used for the ubuntu package, which suggests its a problem with either on of the patches, how the package is build, or what is included in the package. From the looks of it there is a new shared library which isn't being put into the package.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

can you test, if it works with
runghc -package Cabal Setup.lhs?

thanks.

[Holden Karau (holden-pigscanfly)]

I removed the ghc6 package and then went through and deleted everything that mentioned ghc and re-installed the ghc6 package and now:
if I run runghc --package Cabal Setup.lhs it says "bash: /usr/local/bin/runghc: No such file or directory" but "runghc6 Setup.lhs" works just fine.
Looking at both of them:
ls -al /usr/bin/runghc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2008-04-11 01:58 /usr/bin/runghc -> /etc/alternatives/runghc
ls -al /usr/bin/runghc6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2008-04-11 01:57 /usr/bin/runghc6 -> ../lib/ghc-6.8.2/bin/runghc
Which suggest that all that is needed is updating the symbolic link of rungh to ../lib/ghc-6.8.2/bin/runghc

Looking at ghc6_6.8.2-2ubuntu1.diff I'd suggest changing
"+ --slave $execdir/runghc runghc $bindir/runghc \" to "+ --slave $execdir/runghc runghc$execdir/runghc6 \"

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Hi,

sorry for the late response from me. While the runghc6 symlink is directly provided by the ghc6 package, runghc itself is managed via the alternatives system. Since your output of runghc points somewhere below /usr/local, it looks to me like you've overwritten one symlink with the package from the ghc site (and not set that back then). The alternatives system however can not fix this then. The current postinst of ghc6 appears to be correct.

I'm marking this bug as invalid now, but feel free to reopen if you think there is still a problem with the postinst.

Cheers,
    Stefan.

i get segmentation fault when configure cabal package. but everything fine with ghc binary from haskell site.
