Installing: /home/jim/.cabal/bin jim@mowa624-jb162:~$ cabal --version cabal-install version 0.5.2 using version 1.4.0.2 of the Cabal library
You must have another instance of the `cabal` program on your `$PATH` that is shadowing the one you just installed. See `which cabal` it'll report something other than `/home/jim/.cabal/bin/cabal`. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/419#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
