[Agda] problem installing agda (template Haskell ?)

[Thorsten Altenkirch]

Yes thank you - I came to the same conclusion and installed a more recent version of ghost and it worked.

I was confused because I was using the same version of ghc recently without problems but some changes triggered a reinstall of packages that didn’t compile anymore.

Sorry for missing the obvious.

Hi Thorsten,

It seems that there is a bug in GHC 8.0.? hit by the recent commits as there is also another issue on GitHub

https://github.com/agda/agda/issues/3792

when Agda is compiled with 8.0.2.

I have compiled successfully the latest Agda with GHC 8.6.5 using stack on a macOS 10.14.4. Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Liang-Ting

Hi guys,

Has anybody encountered a problem installing agda in the moment? Cabal install fails with some error messages to do with template Haskell. First it says


Use --force-reinstalls if you want to install anyway.

But when I do it it runs into an error


Building geniplate-mirror-0.7.6...

Preprocessing library geniplate-mirror-0.7.6...

[1 of 1] Compiling Data.Generics.Geniplate ( Data/Generics/Geniplate.hs, dist/dist-sandbox-d9c30c4b/build/Data/Generics/Geniplate.o )



Data/Generics/Geniplate.hs:264:33: error:

        Probable cause: bug in .hi-boot file, or inconsistent .hi file

        Use -ddump-if-trace to get an idea of which file caused the error


…

I am using

sean:agda txa$ ghc --version

The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 8.0.1
on a mac and the latest version of the agda repo.

I attach a dump from the terminal. I tried this on 2 different machines.
