I have resolved this issue by adding the rpath to the dependent package's ldOptions [1], but I'm not particularly happy with it.<br><br>My solution was inspired by an old post describing a similar problem with rpath [2], was this ever looked at?<br>

Hi all,<br><br>I've been working on a new development version of wxhaskell[1] and one of my goals was to integrate previous work on using a shared library[2].<br>I'm please to report that I have more-or-less achieved this goal at least under Linux, but there is still some cleaning up to do.<br>
<br>After performing a cabal I end up with a .so file as expected, the only problem currently is that now whenever you compile something which uses wxhaskell you have to pass in an rpath to the .so in the cabal-dev / local / system packages location.<br>
<br>Obviously this .so somehow needs to end up where the system can find it, and I wondered if someone has already (or has ideas about how to) make this happen in cabal?<br><br>You can see where I believe it should fit in in the ldconfig function in Setup.hs[3].<br>
