Hi!

I was trying to create a hoogle database with 'hoogle data', but there
is no way to specify where to write the database to. So I get the
following error:
''
hoogle:
/nix/store/jl9j7s3s69q8l1imr9caxbxfc4cpg2g9-haskell-hoogle-ghc7.6.3-4.2.32/share/hoogle-4.2.32/databases:
createDirectory: permission denied (Read-only file system)
''

Any help or suggestions would be welcome :)


Many thanks,

  Thomas
