cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:

ExitFailure 11

Can you try running it with -v3? ExitFailure 11 usually means that GHC terminated with a segmentation fault (see e.g. here), so this is most likely a bug in GHC (or maybe something with your system configuration, like a low memory limit).

Sorry for my late reply. I tried to install cabal-install on a 4GB memory machine, also failed.

OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64
Kernel: 3.13.0-24-generic

BTW. On the same machine, the version of 1.22.9.0 can be successfully installed.

23Skidoo · 2016-06-06T03:00:38Z

So it compiles the setup script successfully, then runs ./dist/setup/setup configure and then dies when trying to run this command: ("/usr/bin/ghc",["-c","/tmp/20730.c","-o","/tmp/20730.o"]).

I'd suggest trying a newer GHC version, 7.6.3 is a bit old at this point.

ezyang · 2016-08-12T07:06:13Z

I'm going to close this for now, because none of us know how to reproduce, so it's unlikely that we'll make progress on this.

23Skidoo · 2016-08-12T11:41:11Z

Probably some configuration issue, e.g. /tmp mounted noexec.

daimajia · 2016-08-16T03:43:42Z

@23Skidoo Sorry for my late reply. I use the latest version, the issue disappear. Thanks again.

bombless · 2016-11-22T05:23:32Z

hmm apt-get install c2hs cpphs hscolour hugs solves some error, I guess

ezyang · 2016-11-25T04:30:32Z

OK, reopening. The fact that installing those packages solved the problem is a clue.

ezyang · 2016-11-25T05:34:38Z

So, exit code 11 means it's segfaulting. #767 is a report about how we give bad error messages in this case; it's fixed in HEAD to report it's a segfault, but you won't have this fix yet. But if it's a segfault, installing extra packages is likely to be a red herring. If you look at that ticket, there are some possible GHC bugs which could be causing the segfault. What if you upgrade to a newer version of GHC? You can get a newer one using hvr's PPA; https://launchpad.net/~hvr/+archive/ubuntu/ghc

ezyang · 2017-07-30T23:41:35Z

I think I managed to reproduce this failure today; build log is at: https://travis-ci.org/ezyang/cabal-release/jobs/259199236

Note that this was inside a 32-bit Trusty chroot.

After spending hours on installing/removing, the best way to install and configure latest cabal, ghc...

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://get-ghcup.haskell.org | sh

Mikolaj · 2021-09-16T11:14:13Z

@harshdonga: OOI, what OS did you try to update GHC/cabal on?

Anyway, thank you for sharing the tip. Indeed, bootstrapping on old OSes (or even current, but with old GHCs) may be impossible and https://www.haskell.org/ghcup is a good bet. Closing the old issue on this note. Please open new ones with reproduction instructions of any current specific problems.

harshdonga · 2021-09-17T04:24:46Z

@Mikolaj

OS : ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Previous : GHC version 7.10, cabal 1.22

After installing using ghcup,
GHC, cabal : latest

Mikolaj · 2021-09-17T06:49:52Z

@harshdonga: thank you. I have the same old Ubuntu version. Indeed, no chance to build anything new with these ancient GHC and cabal versions, so good job finding ghcup. Have fun and good luck!
