from my bash hints file: thartman@ubuntu:~/haskellInstalls/gitit>thartman_ghci_with_data_files Loading a package with data files in ghci See http://neilmitchell.blogspot.com/2008/02/adding-data-files-using-cabal.html Snip: The above method works well after a program has been installed, but is harder to work with while developing a program. To alleviate these problems, we can add our own Paths module to the program, for example: module Paths_hoogle where getDataFileName :: FilePath -> IO FilePath getDataFileName = return Place this module alongside all the other modules. While developing the program our hand-created Paths module will be invoked, which says the data is always in the current directory. When doing a Cabal build, Cabal will choose its custom generated Paths module over ours, and we get the benefits of Cabal managing our data. 2009/10/21 Robin Green :

I'm trying to run cabal-install in ghci so I can run it under the ghci debugger. However I try it, though, I always get one of these two errors:

/src/greenrd/darcs/cabal-install/Main.hs:70:17:    Could not find module `Paths_cabal_install':      Use -v to see a list of the files searched for. Failed, modules loaded: none.

or

<command line>:    Could not find module `Main':      Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
