Dear Cabal developers
More woe:
simonpj@MSRC-3645512:~$ cabal install lhs2tex
Resolving dependencies...
Up to date
cabal: installdir is not defined. Set it in your cabal config file or use
--installdir=<path>
In the olden days, didn’t cabal install by default in ~/.cabal/bin?
Never mind, let’s do what it asks:
simonpj@MSRC-3645512:~$ cabal install lhs2tex --installdir=/usr/bin
Resolving dependencies...
Up to date
Symlinking 'lhs2TeX'
/usr/bin/lhs2TeX: createSymbolicLink: permission denied (Permission denied)
Darn: I need to be super-user. Fine:
simonpj@MSRC-3645512:~$ sudo cabal install lhs2tex --installdir=/usr/bin
[sudo] password for simonpj:
cabal: unrecognized 'install' option `--installdir=/usr/bin'
OK _*now*_ I really am stumped. It asked me to provide that option, and now it says it’s unrecognised.
(This is in a bash shell running in emacs, if it makes a difference.)
What next?
Thanks
Simon
