GHC fails its bootstrap using ghc-bin if the doc useflag is set. This is because haddock isn't emerged, presumably; the problem is fixed if this is done, and the error is from the 'haddock' shell script about haddock.bin not being found. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge ghc-bin 2. USE="doc" emerge ghc
Would you mind posting the full error message? Also could you check what this says on your system: USE="doc" emerge -pv ghc and seperately: emerge -pv haddock I would expect that it should try to emerge haddock before ghc since it is a dependency of ghc when USE=doc is set. My first suspicion is that haddock is actually installed but that it is going wrong for some reason.
Thanks for the report. Yes, a full error message would help. ks
Hi! Emerging ghc-6.4 with USE="doc" fails n amd64: [...] [ERROR] Unknown enumerated value for property 'relative-align': baseline [ERROR] Error in relative-align property value 'baseline': org.apache.fop.fo.expr.PropertyException: No conversion defined [INFO] [129] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError make[3]: *** [users_guide.ps] Error 1 make[3]: *** Deleting file `users_guide.ps' make[2]: *** [all] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/ghc-6.4/work/ghc-6.4/ghc' make: *** [build] Error 1 !!!

This is a different problem than originally described in this bug. Java claiming about an OutOfMemoryError seems like a problem on the fop side. I would still be interested in getting more information about the original problem, which I cannot reproduce until now. ks
Created attachment 68493 [details] Error mesg from when doing emerge -a ghc This is the last lines of the output from the command: emerge -a ghc. I had no previous install of ghc, and I wanted to have a ghc compiled from source.
Created attachment 68494 [details] results of command: emerge --info additional info for attachment 68493 [details]: Error mesg from when doing emerge -a ghc Doing a subsequent emerge -a ghc-bin worked allright.
Yes, we have finally identified this problem a while ago, and coincidentally, I've just committed a "fix" to CVS a moment ago. There is a problem in portage's dependency resolution. As a result, it sometimes wants to merge the three packages haddock ghc-bin ghc in this order. But haddock requires at least ghc-bin! You've done the right thing, emerging ghc-bin explicitly. You should also re-merge haddock, to get it installed correctly. Then you can bootstrap ghc if you want. The "fix" I've committed just explains that you have to do this. Portage is currently being rewritten in large parts, the next major release (don't know when) will hopefully handle this correctly. Thanks for the report. Cheers, ks PS. I'm marking this as "FIXED" for now, because I've done all that I can do at the moment.
