Personally, I find the whole notion of "installing" libraries
problematic. In particular, unless the process of building the
libraries is particularly user-directed, local library copies are
really de facto caches.
And since different application need different library namespaces it
seems weird to have a global cache.
Searchpath allows you easily to give each application its own
namespace and automates import chasing accross the internet. It is a
work in progress and is definitely less refined than cabal, but if you
are having this sort of issue you might want to try it out. See

Have you tried using searchpath for this sort of thing?

Hi,
how can install a Cabal package hidden directly? Currently I simply
install it and have to hide it afterwards, manually. (Meanwhile one
could get a conflict with new exposed modules.)
I've tried "./setup register --gen-script" and edit the file
"register.sh", but that does not install the .a file.
Thanks Christian
