You should already have the Cabal library installed (it comes with
GHC, and should not be upgraded -- it is released in tandem with
changes to GHC's internals). If you are trying to install the "cabal"
command, the package to get from Hackage is called "cabal-install".
Sorry about the weird naming, and good luck.
