Duplicate symbol error when loading text twice
We are developing some FFI binding to some Kinect Camera library, and came across the following:
GHCi, version 7.6.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help

GHCi runtime linker: fatal error: I found a duplicate definition for symbol
__stginit_textzm0zi11zi3zi1_DataziText
whilst processing object file
/home/niklas/.cabal/lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.6.3/text-0.11.3.1/libHStext-0.11.3.1.a
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.Apparently, ghci has no problem linking packages like array and deepseq twice, but when it comes across loading text another time, we get this duplicate symbol error.
Does this make sense? Why does it not detect that text is already linked, like for the other packages?
