[Haskell-beginners] LTS is good but...

I started an OpenGL project within an LTS sandbox as guided on another post
and, somewhat foolishly it would see, I did a "cabal install cabal-install"
when prompted that a new version was available.

The very next time I tried to work on my code.... I got this:

bash-3.2$ pwd
/Users/seancharles/Documents/Coding/haskell/lts1
bash-3.2$ cabal build
cabal: You need to re-run the 'configure' command. The version of Cabal
being
used has changed (was Cabal-1.20.0.1, now Cabal-1.16.0).
bash-3.2$ cabal configure
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring lts1-0.1.0.0...
cabal: At least the following dependencies are missing:
base ==4.7.*
bash-3.2$ cabal build
cabal: You need to re-run the 'configure' command. The version of Cabal
being
used has changed (was Cabal-1.20.0.1, now Cabal-1.16.0).
bash-3.2$ ls -l

-rw-r--r--  1 seancharles  staff   1932 Mar  2 12:52 lts1.cabal
bash-3.2$

So, welcome to a different kind of hell, "cabal version hell" perhaps?

Can anybody help me get it running again?
Thanks.
Sean.
