On Osx 10.8, I recently run into 32/64 issues. so I was advised to reinstall HP 2012.4 64, which I did. to be sure, I wiped ( moved) my ./~cabal after resintallation I was suprised to find it nearly empty, and all files are now into ~/Library/Haskell ( and the Path is to be updated accrodingly,as mentionned in the install) note this only occur when your ~/.cabal is non existing at installation time as documented below http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Mac_OS_X_Common_Installation_Paths Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.0 (March 2011) and later uses this layout and sets up cabal to use it for built packages. On new installs, if you didn't already have a ~/.cabal/config file, then it is set up by default. Otherwise, the config file for this layout is placed in ~/.cabal/config.platform and you can manually move it over, or incorporate it into your existing config file.

please, can you help me with following. I have installed haskell on mac from the package. When I check cabal -V I can see 1.14.0 That is because the cabal is loading from /Library/Haskell/bin.
After that I run 'cabal install cabal-install', I get following output:
Installing executable(s) in /Users/miro/Library/Haskell/ghc-7.4.2/lib/cabal-install-1.16.0.2/bin Updating documentation index /Users/miro/Library/Haskell/doc/index.html
So the new version of cabal is installed in another place. When I install new package via cabal, it uses the 1.14.0 version. I have tried to copy the new 1.16.0.2 version to bin, but that just didn't help because the new packages have been installed somewhere else.
Please what is the proper way to fix this?
many thanks, miro
