861,-prof without profiling libraries fails without explanation,guest,,"Compiling with -prof caused ghc to fail on the first import, claiming that the module to be imported could not be found (it worked perfectly without -prof).

Initialliy I thought the -prof was just plain buggy.
After a while I realised the real reason was that the profiling library package was not installed.

The bug here is a lack of error report by the compiler. Something like ""Profile libraries not found"". Instead, the way it fails is totally unrelated to the cause.",bug,closed,normal,,Compiler,6.4.2,fixed,prof profile libraries,,Linux,x86_64 (amd64),,Unknown,,,,
