I'm not sure if the following steps will solve your problems nor if they're
all required, but maybe you should try:
- Remove "~/.ghc" and "~/.cabal" directories.
- Check if "~/.cabal/bin" is in your path and add it otherwise.
- Run "cabal update".
I prefer using Homebrew to install the Haskell Platform and current version
is still 2013 (7.6.3 ghc), so I can't give further advices.

I initially installed haskell platform ( 2013 version; 7.6.3 ghc ) on my mac. Everything was working great. Just now saw the haskell platform website again and found new version was released ( Haskell Platform 2014.2.0.0 for Mac OS X, 64bit ). I installed it, and un-installed the older version using uninstall-hs.
Now when i type "cabal" or "cabal update" on my terminal, it hangs. Actually when i look into Activity Monitor, i can see that it is invoking some "sh script & possibly some find command" infinitely. I initially guess may be it is building some indexes. but it has been running for an hr or so.
I have Xcode 5, gcc and other command line tools installed properly
Please advice. I cannot install any other package using cabal.
