Comment:
My suspicion is that the "cabal" command on your $PATH is old cabal, not
new. If you run "cabal --version" you should see:
{{{
>: cabal --version
cabal-install version 0.10.2
using version 1.10.1.0 of the Cabal library
}}}
If you don't see that, try running "/usr/bin/cabal --version" -- and I
suspect that will show the newer one.
In this case, if you have nothing precious there, just "rm -rf ~/.cabal"
-- and ensure there is no cabal executable (or symlink) lurking in ~/bin
or /usr/local/bin. Finally, on the next execution of cabal, you'll get new
cabal, and the new package install locations for --user (under
~/Library/Haskell)
