Hi. This question dovetails off my previous thread. I described how I got ghc-7.6.3 installed from source onto an old RHEL5 machine. Naturally, I want to get cabal-install installed and start building great Hackage software. However, I have this quirk: I installed GHC to a special directory using ./configure --prefix=/specialdirectory/local. It is in my path, and works just fine. But when I try to build cabal-install, it claims it can't find Base, Cabal, and a few other things I know are installed. I know they are installed because I can see where they are installed and I can import stuff from them within GHCI. The result is the same whether I use the boot script, or whether I use runhaskell Setup configure (with or without a --prefix option). Is there another environment variable I need to set or something like that? (I need to emphasize that I do not want to install anything to $HOME, because my $HOME directory is shared across multiple systems.) -- frigidcode.com
