Indeed, memory was the issue. By the way, serendipitiously, linode.com spontaneously upgraded all virtual root boxen to 256M ram for free right around the time I ran into this, which solved the problem.
so, if anyone would like to try haskell in a hosted environment, I can now heartily recommend them :) 2007/2/28, Paul Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I believe that you're probably correct in this case: I was able to get ghc 6.6 + optional packages built on a linode virtual host (guessing from the original poster's prompt) but only after expanding the amount of memory available. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
