</div>If it's unpacked, just cd into the package directory and do a<br>
<br>
$ cabal install<br>
<br>
there (optionally provide further command line args, but not the package<br>
name)<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
$ runghc ./Setup.hs configure --user<br>
$ runghc ./Setup.hs build<br>
$ runghc ./Setup.hs install<br>
<br>
If it's a .tar.gz, I don't know if cabal already supports installing those<br>
from a specified location (i.e., not from hackage or its cache).<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Aaron</div><div> </div></div>
