Description

To be able to install the generic i386 Linux binary distribution, I had to do this little trick before doing the 'configure && make install':

cp libffi/dist-install/build/libHSffi-ghc7.0.1.so libffi/libffi.so.5

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(pwd)/libffi/

This was because my up-to-date Slackware 13.1 ships with libffi.so.4 and some of the installation tools in above mentioned package have been linked against libffi.so.5.

  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to fixed

This is fixed (in HEAD and 7.0 branch) now that we build all binaries in the bindists with the in-tree compiler.
