Re: [Haskell-beginners] cabal install local troubles (osx)

so, after 1) removing ~/.cabal, 2) fresh haskell package install (most probably this was not necessary) 3) cabal install cabal-install I got finally: mac-2:~ miro$ cabal -V *cabal-install version 1.16.0.2* * * /bin is still not in ~/.cabal directory, but most probably that does not need to be there..or? cheers, m.

I did a bit more checking and I can see in ~/.cabal only config.platform and config files. No bin folder.

I just did a fresh haskell package install. After that I run:

so it seems that the cabal update does not update the link in bin,...this should be working, or? Do I need to always update the link after each new version of cabal?

many thanks, but this is my output:

mac-2:~ miro$ cd $HOME/.cabal/bin -bash: cd: /Users/miro/.cabal/bin: No such file or directory mac-2:~ miro$

cheers, m.

Hello,

On linux and windows I add this folder to the path and then it works: $HOME/.cabal/bin

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
