The above method works well after a program has been installed, but is harder to work with while developing a program. To alleviate these problems, we can add our own Paths module to the program, for example:
module Paths_hoogle where
getDataFileName :: FilePath -> IO FilePath getDataFileName = return
another approach is to: export hoogle_datadir=$PWD because the standard Paths_hoogle module uses these environment variable overrides. Some day, someone is going to implement a "ghci mode" for cabal, to do the pre-processing and invoke ghci with all the right flags and env vars. See ticket #382. Duncan
