Hi John,

Thank you, after installing gcc-toolchain, it worked!

Then this is indeed a bug that should be very simple to fix? Just require gcc-toolchain (or some of its required features) as a GHC's dependency?

I am also curious, what kind of testing (if any?) does Guix perform for packages?? Or is GHC already marked as broken?

(Apology for repeated question marks )

~/co/haskell-tiny-intro/exercise (master *)$ guix install gcc-toolchain

...

~/co/haskell-tiny-intro/exercise (master *)$ ghc a.hs

[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( a.hs, a.o )

Linking a ...

~/co/haskell-tiny-intro/exercise (master *)$ ghc --version

The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 8.8.3

Cheers,

Yasu

Hi yasu,

Compiling with ghc requires a c toolchain (like gcc-toolchain) installed to work. Can you try again after installing gcc-toolchain?  Ghc has not been perfect for me recently but I use it quite a lot.

Hope that helps,

John
