works, thanks! (: actually, what i did in the end is this (installing everything for my user locally): runghc ./Setup.hs configure --user --prefix=/tmp2/ runghc ./Setup.hs build ... (I first did the 'cabal install crypto', but for ghc-6.10.4 that didn't work. will start debugging now.) matthias On Sun, Sep 13, 2009 at 11:26:50AM -0700, Thomas DuBuisson wrote:

Cabal, the library you are using when manuallying running Setup.hs, assumes you are doing a global installation and will ignore locally installed libraries (iirc). If you do 'cabal install crypto', cabal-install defaults to user installs and will use the user libraries.

Hi,

Cabal is still fighting me all the time.  Its latest move is to be oblivious of some of the installed packages:

$ cabal unpack crypto Unpacking Crypto-4.2.0... $ cd Crypto-4.2.0/ $ runghc ./Setup.hs configure --prefix=/tmp2/ Configuring Crypto-4.2.0... Setup.hs: At least the following dependencies are missing: HUnit -any, QuickCheck -any $ ghc-pkg list | grep -i -e '\(cabal\|hunit\)'    Cabal-1.6.0.3, array-0.2.0.0, base-3.0.3.1, base-4.1.0.0,    HTTP-4000.0.8, HUnit-1.2.2.0, ObjectName-1.0.0.0, OpenGL-2.3.0.0,

My ghc version is 6.10.4.20090719.  (Perhaps I should go get myself a more stable version?)

How does Cabal find its packages other than by ghc-pkg?  I read the documentation, and did a quick search, but came up empty-handed.
