Hi everyone, I have installed ghc 6.12.3 and the Haskell platform; now, when I install packages from hackage using cabal install <package-name>, they get installed in ~/.cabal, which is fair enough. However, when I call a runhaskell Setup.lhs configure that used to work on a different computer with the same software setup, ghc (or is it cabal?) complains that it cannot find the packages I have just installed. Checking again revealed that they are indeed installed, just not in the ghc installation directory, but under ~/.cabal. How can I tell cabal and/or ghc where to look for libraries?
Thanks, again, for any help! Christian
The command "cabal install " installs a package locally by default, whereas "runhaskell Setup" installs globally. When installing globally, the local packages are ignored. Regards, Henk-Jan van Tuyl -- http://Van.Tuyl.eu/ http://members.chello.nl/hjgtuyl/tourdemonad.html --
