[wxhaskell-users] cabal install wx

[Brian L. <br...@lo...>]

I appreciate all the hard work that went into WxHaskell, and the effort
going into its continued development. But:

$ cabal install wx
...
Writing new package config file...
ghc-pkg: /usr/lib/ghc-6.10.4/./package.conf:
you don't have permission to modify this file

Is there some explanation for this hostile behavior? Every other
cabalized package I've installed in the past year has been satisified to
live in ~/.cabal and not mess with other files behind the back of my
distro's package management system.
