[Haskell-cafe] Cabal can't install in home directory

[Grzegorz]

Hi,

It seems that if GHC is installed non-user-writable directory, and you want to
install a package in the home directory (using "runghc Setup configure
--prefix=$HOME") this isn't possible: when running "runghc Setup install" you
get an error like this: 
Unable to rename "/usr/lib/ghc-6.6.1/package.conf" to
"/usr/lib/ghc-6.6.1/package.conf.old"
Saving old package config file... ghc-pkg.bin: /usr/lib/ghc-6.6.1/package.conf:
renameFile: permission denied (Permission denied)

Shouldn't that be fixed?

Best,
