I think I remember running into something like this a long time ago and mentioning it to someone, is it fixed in a new version of Cabal? I'm using ghc 6.4...

The problem is that executable files are installed to be only executable by user:

$ ls -al built/bin/ total 3644 drwxrwxr-x 2 frederik frederik 4096 2005-06-25 15:35 . drwxrwxr-x 3 frederik frederik 4096 2005-06-24 19:57 .. -rwxrw-r-- 1 frederik frederik 1183668 2005-06-25 15:40 fcq -rwxrw-r-- 1 frederik frederik 2528637 2005-06-25 15:40 fcq-www.cgi $ umask 002

I haven't experienced this with any other installation procedures, only Cabal.

This is a problem with GHC's System.Directory.copyFile, which arises because getPermissions f1 >>= setPermissions f2 doesn't copy the full permissions on Unix. I've fixed copyFile. Cheers, Simon
