Not sure which script you mean. There, the script that's run on installing the generic distro is https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/blob/master/hptool/os-extras/posix/installer/install-haskell-platform.sh.mu The suggestion is to then do a global find and replace on...

This sets a variety of paths, not just library search paths. As to exactly why and how its done the way it is -- you'd have to ask the GHC...

this is documented in the installed docs for the mac platform now -- should check linux.

adding switches for all things sounds good.

Related, #212, #146 Here's the relevant script to modify: https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/blob/master/hptool/os-extras/posix/installer/install-haskell-platform.sh.mu Note that the tar splats files out in a whole variety of directories in the system. I suppose one could...

I agree that its slightly more complicated, but probably not much more. In particular, there simple script just unpacks the tar and then runs activate-hs from it. The tar locates...

The scripts in the bin directory are not generated by the platform, but by ghc. They also are relocatable by design -- it is the things they _point_ to which...

If you're doing it just for you (and e.g. not a labwide project or the like) I'd just install the ghc binary directly (where it lets you configure a target...

Ok, so one approach would be to follow the advice above and build rpms based on that. Talking with some coworkers who know fedora (which I assume you're using) better...

@adubovik did you find a way to report this or follow up with the regex-posix maintainer?
