I'm trying to compile haskell ghc from source. I try to configure my cabal config from different folder than /usr/. From the start it always succeed in building any package.
At some point (after installing package cabal-install), I change my config for cabal to include another "library-dirs". Then, something wrong happens (probably because wrong string to be inserted in field "library-dirs" in cabal config). So, I try to reconfigure my cabal config file again (I even delete the config file and try to clean the ghc package cache) and comment field "library-dirs" options but it still fails. I also already tried to remove the cabal package directory (a directory where cabal save the cache about the packages).
This is the output when using "ghc-pkg check" :
Warning: library-dirs: {stripped} doesn't exist or isn't a directory
This is the output right now when I building package using cabal or manually from Setup.hs :
sudo -E cabal --config-file=/opt/haskell/config/config install hashable -O2 --global --flags="-fllvm" --prefix=/opt/haskell 2>error --upgrade-dependencies --reinstall

Can anybody help me or guide me ? Or at least tell me where ghc are actually save the information of "library-dirs" configuration for an uninstalled package ?
cabal -V
cabal-install version 1.18.0.2
using version 1.18.1.3 of the Cabal library
ghc -v

Thank you.
