Try "type cabal". "which" has a nasty tendency to show you what the next
shell you open (or sometimes the next time you login) will see; shells
remember what they've already seen, so it's probably still running the old
one (likely in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin). POSIX requires "type" to show
what the *current* shell (thinks it) knows, not what some future shell will
see.

"hash -r" should work to reset the shell's idea of where cabal is, if
"type" says it's running a different cabal.
