Did you do "hash -r" so your shell will forget that it had already found cabal in /usr/bin? (This is not a Mac OS X thing, it's a bash and zsh thing. csh/tcsh does it too but you clear its path hash table with "rehash".)

Oops, you are right! Now it seems to work, stupid me! I thought that by issuing these two commands Haralds-iMac:~ bo$ which cabal /Users/bo/Library/Haskell/bin/cabal Haralds-iMac:~ bo$ ls -l `which cabal` lrwxr-xr-x 1 bo staff 49 6 Nov 18:15 /Users/bo/Library/Haskell/bin/cabal -> ../ghc-7.4.2/lib/cabal-install-1.16.0.1/bin/cabal I had made sure I was using the new version. But apparently not! Thanks a lot! (I still find it mildly confusing that there are two different version numbers involved: Haralds-iMac:~ bo$ cabal --version cabal-install version 1.16.0.1 using version 1.16.0.2 of the Cabal library but that seems to be ok?)
