mmm, it seems that the code is searching for the location of a cabal file and uses that as the current directory, assuming all source code is relative to that directory, instead of using the source directive in that cabal file.

Interesting. I have a similar, but worse problem. For me, ':load'ing main.hs would fail to find the imported files. The only thing I appear to be able to :load is files that don't import from local directories.

I have a silly problem.

I'm using Emacs with the Haskell mode extension on Windows 

I have a source file in say 

c:/foo/src/main.hs

main.hs is importing some other modules in that same src directory

When I invoke GHCi from within Emacs, the first thing it does is

:cd c:/foo

and then

:load "src/main.hs"

But of course GHCi won't find the imported modules now, since the current directory is wrong.

If I type in GHCi

:cd src
:load "main.hs"

then it compiles fine.

Does anyone have an idea why Emacs or the Haskell mode is switching to the parent directory of src instead of src itself, and how to fix this?

Thanks a lot,
Peter
