Hi,
I’m learning the Haskell basics and got stuck on the following when working with ghcup in Linux for a Cardano node:
cardano@vmi1140775:/$ ghcup upgrade
ghcup: Most RTS options are disabled. Link with -rtsopts to enable them.
I had a look at the following info: https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/latest/docs/users_guide/runtime_control.html
I tried some options in the command line to enable the RTS options, but without success:
ghcup upgrade -rtsopts[=all]
ghcup set ghc-options "+RTS -K0 -RTS"
ghc-options: "+RTS -K0 -RTS"
Any ideas how to enable the RTS options? In command line or a Cabal configuration file somewhere on the Linux system?

Are you sure you don’t have $GHCRTS
set in your environment? If yes, you should unset it, because ghcup hasn’t been configured to take RTS options at run-time.

@Kleidukos is right. You don’t need to set RTS options here! ghcup
is getting confused because it thinks you’re providing some and it can’t use them.

Wow, took me like two evenings research unable to find a solution. You guys found the problem almost instantly 
It was indeed a setting I made a long time ago in the ~/.bashrc file. While I was playing around with Zram to compress the data in the ram and save ram memory.
I commented the following in my bashrc file:
#export GHCRTS='-N -T -I0 -A16m --disable-delayed-os-memory-return --nonmoving-gc'
Thanks for the help guys
