I have a question about finding the Gtk2Hs demos (the demos written in Haskell). To summarize what I have done so far: I'm a new Cabal user; need to use Cabal in a Windows XP environment, where it and the Haskell Platform are located on a network drive (H:) instead of C:. (Need to be able to do

Rogan: Again, thanks very much for your reply. My situation is that I need to be able to use Cabal (and the Haskell Platform, Gtk2Hs, etc.) at any of several PCs in a (Windows XP) LAN, each of which has access to the network drive H:. So, I am using: H:\proc\tools\Haskell Platform

Rogan is right. You just need to edit the cabal config file to point to locations on your other drive. I would suggest not relocating the config file itself. If you really must do so then you can use the --config-file flag or the environment variable CABAL_CONFIG. Duncan I will try

Rogan: Thanks very much. I began by downloading the latest gtk+ bundle from http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html The instructions there said to just copy the files to any dir and add its ...\gtk\bin dir to my PATH, which I did, so that worked okay without admin privs. Given that I need to
