Configure: Error: cannot run config.sub

[jeffhappily]

I'm trying to stack build a project and I am getting this error:

network                 > configure: error: cannot run  //home/jeffhappily/Programming/my-server/stack-26498c94b43ec990/network-3.1.4.0/config.sub

Here's my stack and ghc version.

$ stack --version
Version 2.15.7, Git revision 75bb479f04755c1daf91ec8f445e17e2ba2ab7a3 x86_64 hpack-0.36.0

LTS Haskell 21.25 (ghc-9.4.8)

@jeffhappily Are you using Windows?

Possibly relating to #579

[kazu-yamamoto]

My bad.
A new version including #579 is not released yet.
So, are you using github version?
If so, you need autoreconf -i.

[jeffhappily]

@kazu-yamamoto No, I'm using Fedora. Sorry I should've also mentioned this, I'm using telegram-bot-simple which depends on network-3.1.4.0.

[kazu-yamamoto]

It surprises me that config.sub cannot run on Linux.
I have no idea.

[jeffhappily]

This issue is beyond my expertise. Could you please explain the root cause or what the error message means? I would appreciate your guidance on this.

I tried cloning this repo manually and encountered the same error:

$ autoconf
$ ./configure 
configure: error: cannot run  ./config.sub

After changing the permissions, it progressed further, but I'm not sure how relevant this is.

Very strange.
This errors are specific to your environment.
Probably, no other people can reproduce this.
