I think you're just missing a "--user":

$ cabal install --prefix=$HOME --user foo

The prefix can also be set in the $HOME/.cabal/config file.

Syntax? Something like: prefix: /path/to/my/ghc ?

BTW, In the development version of cabal-install --user is the default and the default user prefix is $HOME/.cabal (though both can be changed in the config file).

Is this newer than 12 hours ago? I tried "cabal install --prefix=/path package" (without --user). That did not seem to work... Steve
