Failed to compile pandoc with cabal

Question

I try to install pandoc today on my Ubuntu12.04 system with:

cabal install pandoc-1.11.1 -v3

I choose this version becasue I am using it on my another ubuntu12.04 system, but it failed when compiling Reader.Markdown. I am not sure what to do, any help?

/usr/bin/ghc returned ExitFailure 9

I just clean my .cabal and .ghc file and try to run :

cabal install pandoc

and the error is :

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
http-conduit-1.9.5.1 depends on socks-0.5.1 which failed to install.
mime-types-0.1.0.3 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 9
pandoc-1.12.0.2 depends on socks-0.5.1 which failed to install.
socks-0.5.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

Is there any way to install pandoc on a new machine?

and then I clean the .ghc and .cabal file again ,and run :

cabal install snap-1.11.1

and this time the error is :

[35 of 45] Compiling Text.Pandoc.Parsing ( src/Text/Pandoc/Parsing.hs,        dist/build/Text/Pandoc/Parsing.o )
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:

I have spend a whole day try to make it work, now I think I jsut have to give up.

My memory is :

~$ free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          1000        958         42          0         25        228
-/+ buffers/cache:        705        295
Swap:          255        255          0

I still have 295M, so I don't think it is because of not enough memory.

Answer 1

How much RAM do you have on the machine? It looks like the error one gets when the compiler runs out of memory.

Answer 2

With 1G of ram it's possible you are running out of memory, as John says, depending on what other large processes are running. Another way to check this is to watch memory usage with top or htop during the install. In top you can type m to show large processes at the top, and s 0.1 to make it update quicker.

You can influence cabal to use less memory by adding eg +RTS -M200m to the cabal install command. It's not exact, and you shouldn't use either too much or too little, so you may need to adjust that number up or down. If your cabal rejects that option, which it probably will, then first reinstall it with the rtsopts option:

cabal install cabal-install --ghc-options=-rtsopts

Or, temporarily kill off some other large processes until the install completes.

Or, try doing the cabal install in stages, installing major dependencies first and finally the desired package.

Answer 3

I had the same problem on my raspberry pi 3 while I was trying to make Idris programming language using cabal. I got ExitFailure (-9) with this description: This may be due to an out-of-memory condition. I fixed the problem by increasing my swap space. first I edit the /etc/dphys-swapfile (change the CONF_SWAPSIZE=100) and change the size to 512 MB. then:

/etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile stop
/etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile start
