[Haskell-cafe] Libraries in home dir

[allan]

Hi,

In addition if you want to do this all or most of the time, that is there are few/no cabalised libraries you DO wish to install globally, then you can tell 'cabal' to do this all the time by editing your ~/.cabal/config file. Here is mine:

repos: hackage.haskell.org:http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive
cachedir: "/home/<USERNAME>/.cabal/packages"
hackage-username: ""
hackage-password: ""
compiler: ghc
user-install: True
user-prefix: "/home/<USERNAME>/install/"

regards
allan
