Hi,
How do I install a package in the user package.conf with cabal? It is not clear to me how to do this, looking at the output of 'configure --help'. There is an option "--user" to get dependencies from the user cabal file but this still, somewhat counterintuitively, tries to install the package in the global location (why would one want such behavior?). Specifying '--with-hc-pkg="ghc-pkg --user"' doesn't seem to work either, when I do this then 'install' and 'unregister' complete without error but apparently have no effect.
./setup configure --user #if it depends on user-local packages ./setup build ./setup install --user Perhaps install --user should be the default if you configure --user. The user's guide is here: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/Cabal/ peace, isaac
