Hi Paul,

The "ugliness" (a bad word, I agree) was the need to change multiple items - (at least) 2 places in the config file and (presumably) the PATH entry.
Is that all I need to change?
I'm not a Cabal expert, but it looks like you could just change the "user-install" setting to True (and alter the PATH variable accordingly) to achieve what you want.
I can do a user install using cabal install --user and that works fine. It's just the global one that hits the permission issue. As I'm the only user on the PC, it doesn't make much difference which I use in practice :-)
OK. But given that I said "install Haskell" in *this* location, I sort of expected all my Haskell stuff to go there.
You have a point, maybe we'll change this in the next release. I've filed a ticket [1].
Thanks - I hadn't realised there was a bug tracker for the Haskell Platform. Paul.
