In Haskell, -- is the start of a single-line comment (like // in
Java), and cabal-install has taken that for its configuration file
(rather than # like in most config files).  So remove the -- from the
front of the line to get it working.

[Haskell-cafe] Cabal-install prefix

2010-09-21 Thread N. Raghavendra
I am new to Haskell, and am trying to install a package (scan) using
cabal-install.  I want it to install all files under the directory
${HOME}/nonvc, like in ~/nonvc/share and ~/nonvc/bin.  So I specified

install-dirs user
  -- prefix: /home/raghu/nonvc

in ~/.cabal/config.  But when I do `cabal install scan', it still
installs the files in ~/.cabal/bin and ~/.cabal/share.  How do I make
cabal install these files in ~/nonvc?

Thanks and regards,
Raghavendra.
