[Haskell-beginners] cabal install local troubles (osx)

[Miro Karpis]

I did a bit more checking and I can see in  ~/.cabal only config.platform
and config files. No bin folder.

I just did a fresh haskell package install. After that I run:

mac-2:.cabal miro$ cabal -V
*cabal-install version 0.14.0*
using version 1.14.0 of the Cabal library
mac-2:.cabal miro$ cabal update
Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
*Note: there is a new version of cabal-install available.*
To upgrade, run: cabal install cabal-install
mac-2:.cabal miro$ cabal install cabal-install

mac-2:.cabal miro$ ls ~/.cabal
config config.platform


mac-2:bin miro$ cd /Library/Haskell/bin
mac-2:bin miro$ ls -l
total 5712
lrwxr-xr-x  1 miro  wheel       26 Mar 27 10:17 alex ->
../lib/alex-3.0.2/bin/alex
lrwxr-xr-x  1 miro  wheel       10 Mar 27 10:17 cabal -> cabal.wrap
lrwxr-xr-x  1 miro  wheel       37 Mar 27 10:17 *cabal.real ->
../lib/cabal-install-0.14.0/bin/cabal*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin     4328 Nov  5 03:44 cabal.wrap
lrwxr-xr-x  1 miro  wheel       30 Mar 27 10:17 happy ->
../lib/happy-1.18.10/bin/happy
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  1295976 Nov  5 03:44 patch-ghc-settings
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  1598500 Nov  5 03:44 uninstall-hs

so it seems that the cabal update  does not update the link in bin,...this
should be working, or? Do I need to always update the link after each new
version of cabal?
