Failed to build th-utilities-0.2.5.0

I get this error on one of my relay when I want to compile cardano-node. I only have the problem on this server. On 4 other it runs without problems. The compile process always aborts at the same point. So I can reproduce it. Anyone have a hint?

check/compare if the cabal path si different for this server

which cabal

No, I use a script to install/update my nodes. So everything “should” be equal, which probably wasn’t the same after all :slight_smile:

The problem was, that the libraries were not loaded. The ~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org directory was almost empty. On the other server, the directory was filled with the missing libraries. I tried cabal clean and cabal update. But didn’t help.

I have now reinstalled the server without finding out what the real problem was. Now it’s working.

yeah, this is the “hard” way :smiley:
