[Haskell-cafe] ghc socket weirdness

[Tim Newsham]

FreeBSD/7.0 amd64:

GHCi, version 6.8.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Prelude> :module +Network
Prelude Network> listenOn $ PortNumber 8765
Loading package parsec-2.1.0.0 ... linking ... done.
Loading package network-2.1.0.0 ... linking ... done.
*** Exception: getAddrInfo: does not exist (servname not supported for
ai_socktype)

(same error when compiled).

Anyone seen this before? I have multiple NICs, could that be
confusing listenOn (does it not just bind on 0.0.0.0?)

ghc 6.8.2 has the same problem on NetBSD/i386, it fixed with ghc 6.8.3:
