Unable to install and build GHC version 9.*
I recently needed to reinstall GHC version 9.4.2. In doing so, I ran ghcup install ghc 9.4.2
. This fails no matter what I try. The installation process with the -verbose
flag yields the following error message:

I've been at this for hours with no luck. Seemingly its an issue with the standard C++ library.
I've seen a similiar issue here, where it was solved by brew uninstall llvm
, which I've tried to no avail.
I've tried to install with only clang on my path, with only gcc on my path, with only g++ on my path, and a combination of two or three of them, nothing seems to work.
I even tried ghcup nuke
, and did a comlete reinstall og ghcup, which didn't work either.

Any help would be appreciated.
