http://blog.solaris.bytelabs.org/articles/2007/05/29/ghc-6-6-1-on-mac-os-x en-us 40 additions to a vast pool of entropy by Igor and Ines Today I finally went ahead and upgraded <a href="http://www.haskell.org/ghc">Ghc</a> to version <a href="http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.6.1/html/users_guide/release-6-6-1.html">6.6.1</a>. On Max <span class="caps">OS X</span> Tiger I additionally needed to install the <span class="caps">GNU</span>-Readline Framework as described in <a href="http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2007-May/012576.html">this post</a>. The installation went really fine but when trying to link executable programs <code>ld</code> would throw up and say something along the line: <ul> <li>... the table of contents for <code>*.a</code> archives are out of date and that <code>ranlib(1)</code> should be re-run.</li> </ul> <p>Oh well, life is imperfect but the following solves the problem:</p> <p><code> $ cd /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6.1/</code> <br/> <code> $ sudo sh -c "ls *.a | xargs ranlib"</code></p> Tue, 29 May 2007 15:35:00 +0000 urn:uuid:33023a49-3363-4b30-a3b0-d3a55be4e5f6 igor http://blog.solaris.bytelabs.org/articles/2007/05/29/ghc-6-6-1-on-mac-os-x Ghc Haskell
