I downloaded the latest cabal-install from http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-install and that was a mistake right off. Assuming you upgraded, you probably had an old version of cabal-install. You should be able to keep using it for the time being. The cabal binary picks up the GHC

I just type runghc on everything and it seems like a lot of those don't have the executable bit set, so I hadn't thought of that reason. I think this is most eminent with Darcs repos. Darcs can't revision file permissions (--set-scripts-executable tries to remedy that). Cheers, Simon
