Re: [Haskell-cafe] problem with cabal on snow leopard

the deleting .ghc/ solves that problem, but another problem i've had is that when trying to build gtk2hs, I'm unable to find the package.conf file that apparently needs to be modfied, and only a package.conf.d folder.... are these somehow the same thing or where is it hidden/what am i overlooking?

I can't seem to find it documented anywhere as to the default directories that cabal puts its information in (its certainly not in ~/.cabal ), as I'm finding that even when I try to do a "reinstall" of the haskell platform, cabal thinks that all the libraries i removed are still there. how can i fix this?

Cabal uses the ghc-pkg "database" to know which libraries are installed. If you want to wipe everything and start afresh, then delete the ~/.ghc directory (assuming you did per-user installs).
