Re: Cabals' Paths_pkg and GHCi

Hi,

I took advantage of Cabal's data-files feature to allow me to portably store and access data files. Cabal generated a Paths_pkg module that I imported. From Cabal's point of view everything works: I can configure, build, install, and run. However, I can no longer use GHCi with the file that imports Paths_pkg - GHCi simply can't find the module.

Is there a good way to fix this issue?

The Paths_foo.hs file is generated in a separate directory, something like dist/autogen/ (I can't remember exactly, you should be able to find it). To get GHCi to find it, you'll need to pass an appropriate -i <dir> flag. Cheers, Simon
