cabal update causes segmentation fault on FreeBSD 10.2 I have installed `FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE` 32-bit and I am trying to use Haskell on it. I have installed package `ghc-7.10.2` with `pkg` and then installed package `hs-cabal-install-1.22.6.0` from `/usr/ports/devel/hs-cabal-install`. Now, when I run `cabal update` I get: $ cabal update Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org Segmentation fault (core dumped) Running it as root causes the same problem. I have been searching on different search engines but found no article describing this specific problem. Can you give me some hint on how to solve this problem or where I can find some documentation about it?

There is a bug report which describes the same issue. There seems to be a problem when the port is compiled with LLVM support, which causes segmentation faults.

You need to run


cd /usr/ports/devel/hs-cabal-install
make config


to unset the LLVM support and to so avert the problem.
