Which probably isn't UTF-8.

If it's unpacked, just cd into the package directory and do a $ cabal install there (optionally provide further command line args, but not the package name) or $ runghc ./Setup.hs configure --user $ runghc ./Setup.hs build $ runghc ./Setup.hs install If it's a .tar.gz, I don't know if cabal already supports installing those from a specified location (i.e., not from hackage or its cache). > > Many thanks, > > Aaron Cheers, Daniel _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
