ghc: internal error: Invalid Mach-O file

[jeffshaw]

I am running Mac OS 10.5.8 on a PowerPC processor.

$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 0.10.2
using version 1.10.2.0 of the Cabal library 
$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.0.4
$ machine
ppc7450

cabal install yesod-core fails with

Loading package wai-logger-0.1.4 ... linking ... ghc: internal error: Invalid Mach-O file:Address out of bounds while relocating object file
    (GHC version 7.0.4 for powerpc_apple_darwin)
    Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

Standard output from cabal.

Standard error from cabal.

That means libHSwai-logger-0.1.4.a has an object image containing a broken relocation entry, which can't happen in theory but IIRC there was a bug in as(1) that comes with MacOS 10.5 causing similar problems you encountered.

I'll investigate that when bites me too.

jeffshaw, which version of cctools are you using? Mine is:

% as -v
Apple Inc version cctools-698.1~1, GNU assembler version 1.38
% ld -v
@(#)PROGRAM:ld  PROJECT:ld64-85.2.1
% uname -a

I show the same version numbers. Perhaps I can install newer versions of these programs from macports and try again?
