I have recently installed the Haskell Platform (for the first time) to a MS Windows network drive; e.g.:
H:\aaa\bbb\Haskell Platform\2010.1.0.0\
I did so without admin privs.
It has ghc-6.12.1
I need to not install to C:.
I would like to install and use Gtk2Hs and Glade on the Platform also.
There are instructions in the INSTALL doc here: * http://code.haskell.org/gtk2hs/INSTALL Generally, you don't need to (explicitly) download anything when using cabal-install, cabal install does that for you. However, when libraries implemented in other languages are used, such as with gtk2hs, you will need to manually install something. That's where the windows "gtk+ libraries" come in. You can download them from here: http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html That url is mentioned in the INSTALL document linked to above, and the document also describes what you need to download and install. I don't know if it is possible to do that without admin access though (I've never tried). Once you have the gtk+ libraries installed it should just be a matter of running 'cabal update' (to get the latest updates from hackage) and then running a handfull of 'cabal install <foo>' commands. --Rogan
