Comment:
I'm having problems installing Cabal HEAD as a user with 6.8.2:
{{{
$ ghc --make Setup
[...]
$ ./Setup configure --user --prefix=`pwd`/inst
[...]
$ ./Setup build -v
[...]
Registering Cabal-1.9.0...
/usr/bin/ghc-pkg update - --global --user --package-
conf=dist/package.conf.inplace
Setup: Unable to rename "/usr/lib/ghc-6.8.2/package.conf" to
"/usr/lib/ghc-6.8.2/package.conf.old"
ghc-pkg.bin: /usr/lib/ghc-6.8.2/package.conf: renameFile: permission
denied
(Permission denied)
}}}
Duncan, any idea what's going on?
