[Barrelfish-users] [Barrelfish] barrelfish compilation fails

[Andrew Baumann]

Hi,

It looks like you are using GHC 6.12.1 -- as noted in the README file this has a known bug that causes the errors you see.

You'll need to either downgrade (GHC 6.10 from previous versions of Ubuntu) or upgrade (GHC 6.12.3 from natty works fine) your GHC.

Cheers,
Andrew
