This would require modifying the path (since there may be no writable location on the existing path). But the PATH is set by a combination of several programs written in Turing-complete languages (shell script), and those programs themselves are in unknown locations (depending on the shell in use). > or at > least, they are in the PATH of the apps built by cabal itself? This is a possibility. But surely you're one day going to want to run your cabal-installed programs yourself (there are some pretty handy ones), so the easiest thing is to extend your path. It might be a good idea for cabal-install to warn that its bin directory is not in your path when you install an executable. --Max _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
