GHCi runtime linker: fatal error: I found a duplicate definition for symbol

whilst processing object file
   C:\Program Files\Haskell\x86_64-windows-ghc-7.8.3\text-1.2.0.0\HStext-1.2.0.0.o
This could be caused by:
   * Loading two different object files which export the same symbol
   * Specifying the same object file twice on the GHCi command line
   * An incorrect `package.conf' entry, causing some object to be
     loaded twice.
GHCi cannot safely continue in this situation.  Exiting now.  Sorry.

I'm going to delete %ProgramFiles%\Haskell and %AppData%\cabal then re-extract GHC to %ProgramFiles%\Haskell and the cabal-install tool to %ProgramFiles%\Haskell\bin. I also have Leksah installed, so I'm going to uninstall that. Then I'll try again.

[Dangthrimble]

It worked! Considering the problems I've been having, I'm wondering whether Leksah was interfering in some way. Thanks again for your support. Now I can build hsdev and try to get to grips with Sublime Text and SublimeHaskell. Any tips?

[mvoidex]

Make sure, that enable_hsdev is true in SublimeHaskell settings: Ctrl-Shift-P, then type SublimeHaskell settings and select user ones. If they are empty, write there:

{
    "enable_hsdev": true
}

You can find docs for settings in default SublimeHaskell settings.

There may be freezing just after starting SublimeHaskell, it's known bug.

[Dangthrimble]

When I say it worked, I managed to build alex, happy and cabal. But when I copied %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Haskell over %ProgramFiles%\Haskell I couldn't get hsdev to build. Deleted all but cabal and GHC there and tried to rebuild alex and happy and couldn't get them to build. I'll start from scratch again some time today if I get the chance and see what happens. I'll keep a note of exactly what I do.

What is the best way to go about moving the files from %ProgramFiles(x86)% to %ProgramFiles%?

[Dangthrimble]

Steps to install alex, happy and cabal to %ProgramFiles(x86). Worked like clockwork. The question is, what to do next?

Preparation

1. Delete %ProgramFiles%\Haskell, %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Haskell and %AppData%/cabal

Installing GHC and cabal-install tool

1. Create the directory %ProgramFiles%\Haskell\bin
2. Download the latest version of GHC for 64-bit Windows. There are two file formats available; I use the *.tar.xz format
3. Extract the ghc-* folder within to %ProgramFiles%\Haskell (not to the bin subdirectory)
4. Download the latest version of the cabal-install tool for Windows
5. Extract cabal.exe to %ProgramFiles%\Haskell\bin
6. Add %ProgramFiles%\Haskell\bin, %ProgramFiles%\Haskell\ghc-7.8.3\bin and %ProgramFiles%\Haskell\ghc-7.8.3\mingw\bin to the front of the system PATH variable

Building cabal

1. Run the MSYS2 shell as Administrator and run the following command:

$ cabal update

1. Edit %AppData%\cabal\config and set user-install to False
2. Within the MSYS2 shell run:

$ cabal install alex happy
$ cabal install cabal-install

[mvoidex]

I'm using this sequence of actions:

1. Download GHC and unpack anywhere, add bin to PATH.
2. Add GHCPATH/mingw/bin to PATH
3. Download cabal-install tool, add it to PATH too
4. Install Cygwin somewhere
5. cabal update
6. cabal install network --configure-option --build=i386-unknown-mingw32 from Cygwin terminal
7. cabal install alex happy
8. cabal install cabal-install

[Dangthrimble]

I've copied the three exe files to %ProgramFiles%\Haskell\bin and hsdev has built!

Can I delete %ProgramFiles(x86)\Haskell, or do the files need to be moved or stay where they are?

[mvoidex]

Are these files copied to new locations? And is PATH now contains new paths? If yes, I think, old folder may be deleted. To be sure, rename it to Haskell.bak, and if all works fine - delete it.

[AnneTheAgile]

thank you! On windows 8.1 I couldn't do

cabal install cabal-install

due to the network-2.6.0.2 dependency, as described above. It occurred indeed when I was using a regular bash shell instead of my cygwin. Upon using the cygwin shell, I used the update commands for cabal , network, and happy , and now it works great.

So, I did not need to move or rearrange my haskell folders in the OS.
