Hi All,

To test some programs written in CABAL, I need to use a server (where I
do not have root access) with GHC 6.6.1 (in-place) installed. However,
many programs need more libraries that have to be installed, (such as
binary, or derive) for which, even when I use ./Setup configure
--prefix=something,

1) After the ./Setup build, it can not do ./Setup install correctly
because I am not root, ie.
Installing: /usr/local/lib/derive-0.1/ghc-6.6.1 & /usr/local/bin
derive-0.1...
Setup: /usr/local/lib/derive-0.1: createDirectory: permission denied
(Permission denied)

2) But the .o and the .a files are created. However possibly due to (1),
I can not make the program see the library, so in the end when I try
configuring the program, I get (for example):
Setup: cannot satisfy dependency derive-any

possible solutions I could think of were:
1) LD_LIBRARY_PATH
2) use configure with a --with flag
3) copying the library files to the prefix directory of the program I
ultimately want to run
4) The -L flag

and still no luck, so here I am asking for your help... Thanks a lot in
advance,
Sincerely,
