[Haskell-cafe] problem with cabal on snow leopard
Hello all, I can't seem to find it documented anywhere as to the default directories that cabal puts its information in (its certainly not in ~/.cabal ), as I'm finding that even when I try to do a reinstall of the haskell platform, cabal thinks that all the libraries i removed are still there. how can i fix this? thanks -Carter ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Cabal installs stuff and registers it with GHC, which maintains the master database of what's installed; eg. 'ghc-pkg list'. This is usually kept in ~/.ghc: find ~/.ghc/ : .ghc/ .ghc/ghci_history .ghc/i386-linux-6.10.4 .ghc/i386-linux-6.10.4/package.conf -- gwern ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Cabal uses the ghc-pkg database to know which libraries are installed. If you want to wipe everything and start afresh, then delete the ~/.ghc directory (assuming you did per-user installs). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic ivan.miljeno...@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

the deleting .ghc/ solves that problem, but another problem i've had is that when trying to build gtk2hs, I'm unable to find the package.conf file that apparently needs to be modfied, and only a package.conf.d folder are these somehow the same thing or where is it hidden/what am i overlooking?
