7.8.1 cabal install of vector package (dependent on primitive package) fails

[Carter Schonwald]

i bet you have cabal --version reply with  1.16 :)

1) cabal update
2) cabal install cabal-install
3) rm ~/.cabal/config # old pre 1.18 config should go!
4) cabal update # also probably add ~/.cabal/bin to path
5)  cabal install vector
