#93: Incorrect permissions on library install ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.8 Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.1.4 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.10.1 | Platform: Linux ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment(by svat2): This bug still exists, it is not restricted to library installs or to Unix, and is a big nuisance. My OS is Mac OS X, user umask is 077, cabal version is "cabal-install version 0.8.0 using version 1.8.0.2 of the Cabal library". I set my cabal to global installs, and did `sudo cabal install pandoc`. A lot of files (including the binary itself) were installed with incorrect permisssions, so I (as user) couldn't run the program. I tried changing umask and reinstalling with `sudo cabal --reinstall install pandoc`, but it didn't fix permissions. (Possibly because my root umask also appears to be 077 for some reason.) Doing `sudo chmod -vR a+rX /usr/local` was the workaround that finally helped. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/93#comment:9 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
