ghc searches for package libraries relative to cwd?

[Frederik Eaton]

Hi all,

It seems that ghc is searching for package libraries relative to the
current directory. Is that the intended behavior? ghci does the same
thing, by the way.

$ pwd
/home/frederik/GSLHaskell2
$ ghc --make ../test-proc.hs -package GSL 
Chasing modules from: ../test-proc.hs
Compiling Main             ( ../test-proc.hs, ../test-proc.o )
Linking ...
$ cd ..
$ ghc --make test-proc.hs -package GSL 
Chasing modules from: test-proc.hs
Skipping  Main             ( test-proc.hs, test-proc.o )
Linking ...
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lHSGSL-0.5
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Frederik
