But http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/new/contents.html tells me cabal-install is supposed to ship with the platform...

It should; there's an installation script that's *supposed* to put a symlink into /usr/local/bin/cabal from /Library/Frameworks/HaskellPlatform.framework/bin/.

Binaries should be there regardless.

Looks like they are. Perhaps the script is missing a `mkdir -p /usr/local/bin` ? Does the installer keep a log anywhere? (Looks like neither GHC nor HP give installation receipts...) -- Live well, ~wren
