Did you create your package using Cabal, i.e. have a module Setup.(l)hs in the same directory as the .cabal file and then
runhaskell Setup.hs configure --prefix=WhereYouWantIt runhaskell Setup.hs build runhaskell Setup.hs haddock (optionally) runhaskell Setup.hs install ?
Then you shouldn't even need the -package option to use it, ghc-pkg would know where to find the interface files.

No, I did not, because I actually inherited a large Makefile with huge dependencies and twisted built options. If using Setup is the right (and only) way to create the package, I will then try it.
thank you,

If it's a complicated build, you should certainly take a close look at the Cabal user guide, because then you will probably need more than main = defaultMain in your Setup.hs. On the other hand, the GHC user's guide should also contain some sections on building and registering packages. The Cabal / Setup way is intended to be the simplest and standard way to build packages, but it's not the only one and won't be for a long time. Cheers, Daniel
