Haskell Platform Removal

Question

I misused the prefix by creating a directory under / usr / local as haskell-platform (as suggested by the instructions), as / usr / loca when I ran configure, but didn't notice it later. Instead of leaving a cluttered directory there, I moved it to the right place. Of course, everything is broken. It turns out that / usr / loca is being implemented everywhere.

Then I removed the ghc6 syntax (this is ubuntu 10.04 and the day of instructions for starting 6.12.1 / 2010.1). When I reinstalled, it still thinks the packages are on / usr / loca ??? I even deleted package.cache, but it was recreated with / usr / loca in the file paths, even when I run configure with the correct path in / usr / local.

Where does this prefix come from? At this moment, I would also get rid of all this. Where to look for bits and pieces to delete? None of the wikis or documents discuss how to get rid of this thing. There seems to be a Uninstaller on the Mac distribution, but I can't find anything for * nix.

Answer 1

An old question, but the answer, I'm sure, is that the built-in paths were in the cabal configuration file in the directory ~/.cabal.
