Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 271 by k04jg02: Setup.lhs http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=271 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Download xmonad, darcs or tarball 2. Run: runhaskell Setup.lhs --user --prefix=~ 3. Build and install What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect xmonad to install into my home folder. Instead it creates a folder called '~' in the source folder and installs there. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Ubuntu 8.10, xmonad from darcs Please provide any additional information below. I realize that this probably isn't an xmonad specific issue, but I'm not haskell savvy enough to know who to report it to instead (GHC?). I wouldn't bother reporting this if it weren't very difficult to figure out what's wrong -- configure/build/install complete without any errors, but then xmonad isn't installed. It wasn't until I tried to install contrib and it complained that StackSet was missing ("XMonad not installed in that folder would be more helpful by the way") that I eventually figured this out. If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue with 'Component-Contrib' below. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
