Hi! I installed ghc from its official package. The system it is installed on is a fresh install. I'll post the dmesg at the end of this email.
The problem I am experiencing is that ghc panics whenever I try to run it or any of the other programs that use it (runhaskell, ghci, runghc). This is the message I receive: $ ghc ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened) (GHC version 6.12.3 for i386-unknown-openbsd): too few bytes. Failed reading at byte position 10861 Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug --- I'm not sure how to go about figuring out what the issue is. I'll be happy to do any experiments and provide other information. Here's my dmesg: OpenBSD 4.9 (GENERIC) #671: Wed Mar 2 07:09:00 MST 2011 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 2.80 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,CNXT-ID,xTPR real mem = 259551232 (247MB) avail mem = 245178368 (233MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 01/15/04, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfdb40, SMBIOS rev. 2.3 @ 0xf0630 (31 entries) bios0: vendor American Megatrends Inc. version "1.11" date 01/15/2004 bios0: Hewlett-Packard HP d220 MT (DQ868A) acpi0 at bios0: rev 0 acpi0: sleep states S0 S3 S4 S5 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP APIC acpi0: wakeup devices USB1(S4) USB2(S4) USB3(S4) EHCI(S4) ICHB(S4) PS2M(S4) PS2K(S4) UAR1(S4) MC9_(S4) PCI0(S4) acpitimer0 at acpi0: 3579545 Hz, 24 bits acpimadt0 at acpi0 addr 0xfee00000: PC-AT compat cpu0 at mainbus0: apid 0 (boot processor) cpu0: apic clock running at 133MHz ioapic0 at mainbus0: apid 2 pa 0xfec00000, version 20, 24 pins acpiprt0 at acpi0: bus 0 (PCI0) acpiprt1 at acpi0: bus 3 (ICHB) acpicpu0 at acpi0 acpipwrres0 at acpi0: URP1 acpipwrres1 at acpi0: URP2 acpipwrres2 at acpi0: FDDP acpipwrres3 at acpi0: LPTP acpibtn0 at acpi0: PWRB bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0xb400 0xcbc00/0x1800 0xe0000/0x1000 pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 (bios) pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 82845G Host" rev 0x03 vga1 at pci0 dev 2 function 0 "Intel 82845G Video" rev 0x03 wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) wsdisplay0: screen 1-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation) intagp0 at vga1 agp0 at intagp0: aperture at 0xd0000000, size 0x8000000 inteldrm0 at vga1: apic 2 int 16 (irq 11) drm0 at inteldrm0 uhci0 at pci0 dev 29 function 0 "Intel 82801DB USB" rev 0x02: apic 2 int 16 (irq 11) uhci1 at pci0 dev 29 function 1 "Intel 82801DB USB" rev 0x02: apic 2 int 19 (irq 5) uhci2 at pci0 dev 29 function 2 "Intel 82801DB USB" rev 0x02: apic 2 int 18 (irq 5) ehci0 at pci0 dev 29 function 7 "Intel 82801DB USB" rev 0x02: apic 2 int 23 (irq 10) usb0 at ehci0: USB revision 2.0 uhub0 at usb0 "Intel EHCI root hub" rev 2.00/1.00 addr 1 ppb0 at pci0 dev 30 function 0 "Intel 82801BA Hub-to-PCI" rev 0x82 pci1 at ppb0 bus 3 "Broadcom BCM4401" rev 0x01 at pci1 dev 10 function 0 not configured dc0 at pci1 dev 11 function 0 "ADMtek AN983" rev 0x11: apic 2 int 21 (irq 11), address 00:02:e3:4d:a7:3a acphy0 at dc0 phy 1: AC_UNKNOWN 10/100 PHY, rev. 0 ichpcib0 at pci0 dev 31 function 0 "Intel 82801DB LPC" rev 0x02 pciide0 at pci0 dev 31 function 1 "Intel 82801DB IDE" rev 0x02: DMA, channel 0 configured to compatibility, channel 1 configured to compatibility wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <ST340014A> wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA, 38166MB, 78165360 sectors wd1 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 1: <ST310014A> wd1: 16-sector PIO, LBA, 9768MB, 20005650 sectors wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 5 wd1(pciide0:0:1): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 5 atapiscsi0 at pciide0 channel 1 drive 0 scsibus0 at atapiscsi0: 2 targets cd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <LITE-ON, COMBO SOHC-4832K, OQK5> ATAPI 5/cdrom removable cd0(pciide0:1:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 3 ichiic0 at pci0 dev 31 function 3 "Intel 82801DB SMBus" rev 0x02: apic 2 int 17 (irq 5) iic0 at ichiic0 admtm0 at iic0 addr 0x2d: 47m192 spdmem0 at iic0 addr 0x50: 256MB DDR SDRAM non-parity PC2700CL2.5 auich0 at pci0 dev 31 function 5 "Intel 82801DB AC97" rev 0x02: apic 2 int 17 (irq 5), ICH4 AC97 ac97: codec id 0x41445374 (Analog Devices AD1981B) ac97: codec features headphone, 20 bit DAC, No 3D Stereo audio0 at auich0 usb1 at uhci0: USB revision 1.0 uhub1 at usb1 "Intel UHCI root hub" rev 1.00/1.00 addr 1 usb2 at uhci1: USB revision 1.0 uhub2 at usb2 "Intel UHCI root hub" rev 1.00/1.00 addr 1 usb3 at uhci2: USB revision 1.0 uhub3 at usb3 "Intel UHCI root hub" rev 1.00/1.00 addr 1 isa0 at ichpcib0 isadma0 at isa0 com0 at isa0 port 0x3f8/8 irq 4: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0 pcppi0 at isa0 port 0x61 spkr0 at pcppi0 lpt0 at isa0 port 0x378/4 irq 7 npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: reported by CPUID; using exception 16 fdc0 at isa0 port 0x3f0/6 irq 6 drq 2 fd0 at fdc0 drive 0: 1.44MB 80 cyl, 2 head, 18 sec mtrr: Pentium Pro MTRR support vscsi0 at root scsibus1 at vscsi0: 256 targets softraid0 at root root on wd0a swap on wd0b dump on wd0b All help is greatly appreciated!
