Hi,

I want to use a few libraries from hackage and have already download and built them. Can I install those libraries somewhere in my home dir (I want to avoid installing as root) so that ghc can find them?

If so, which options should I give to Setup.hs (with main=defaultMain) so that the libraries are going to be copy to that dir?

Dpeending on whether you have (and are using) cabal-install, either $ cabal install diagrams --prefix=$HOME --user or $ runhaskell Setup.lhs configure --prefix=$HOME --user That will (a) put the libraries etc in $HOME/lib and (b) register these packages locally. Hope that helps! D
