cabal, ghc-pkg, PATH

[Frederik Eaton]

Hi,

Does cabal use the version of ghc and ghc-pkg from PATH? I have ones
which are locally installed, and sometimes it seems like cabal is
using the ones in /usr/bin/ instead. For instance, it is complaining
about packages which are only visible to the versions installed in
/usr/bin/. However, cabal wouldn't be messing up consistently since it
shows the correct 'ghc' path for compilations, when I run it with
'-v'.

Thanks,

Frederik
