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

[Miro Karpis]

so, after
1) removing ~/.cabal,
2) fresh haskell package install (most probably this was not necessary)
3) cabal install cabal-install

I got finally:
mac-2:~ miro$ cabal -V
*cabal-install version 1.16.0.2*
*
*
/bin is still not in ~/.cabal directory, but most probably that does not
need to be there..or?


cheers,
m.
