By the way, using a *hello world* example, I obtained the following results: $ echo 'main = putStrLn "Hello, world!"' > hello.hs $ ghc -o hello hello.hs [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( hello.hs, hello.o ) Linking hello ... $ ./hello Hello, world! $ ls -sh ./hello 1008K ./hello Perhaps GHC is using only a subset of the RTS, due to the limited scope of the program. (The build target does appear to have a few dependencies, but I believe all are independent of GHC: libgmp.so.10, libm.so.6, librt.so.1, libdl.so.2, libffi.so.6, libpthread.so.0, libc.so.6). Someone with more experience than I on the topic might comment on what, if any, significance to associate with this result. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pandoc-discuss" group.
