LLVM With Haskell, Strange Linker Error

Question

I just installed LLVM (3.0) successfully, and got the Hackage bindings (3.0.0.0). However when I try to use it, I get the following linker error:

Loading package llvm-base-3.0.0.0 ... can't load .so/.DLL for: (dlopen(lib.dylib, 9): image not found)

There is no name after "for: ", which makes this frustrating, because I don't know what it can't find. I know there isn't much information to go on, but does anyone have any idea why this could be happening?

I am running Mac OS X, in case it matters.

Answer 1

It's a bug in the llvm bindings installer. I had it patched locally and just sent a pull request to bos, hopefully it will get merged soon.

To fix your problem without the patch, find the llvm-base package config file. Mine is located here:

~/.ghc/x86_64-darwin-7.4.1/package.conf.d/llvm-base-3.0.0.0-*.conf

Locate this line and delete it: extra-ghci-libraries: ""

Then run: ghc-pkg recache --user
