Thanks Daniel . It works.


$ cabal install --with-compiler=/usr/local/bin/ghc-7.2.1 -v keys --dry-run

 It prints nothing .
ntro at ntro-HP-dx2480-MT-NA121PA:~$ which ghc
ntro at ntro-HP-dx2480-MT-NA121PA:~$

Looks bad. The only idea I have is that it could be a PATH issue, your
global db for 6.12.3 was under /var/lib, and your 7.2.1 lives under
/usr/local, but it doesn't seem likely.

Precisely this was the issue . My /var/lib directory contains ghc-6.12.1 .

ntro at ntro-HP-dx2480-MT-NA121PA:/var/lib$ ls gh*
ghc-6.12.1:
package.conf.d

ghostscript:
CMap  fonts

So should i delete ghc-6.12.1 from /var/lib and move the ghc-7.2.1 from
/usr/local/lib to /var/lib to execute cabal install <pkg-name> -v --dry-run
? As /usr/local/bin is already in the path i don't need to move any files
from here. Am i correct  ? I am already on delay for my project so i don't
want to take chances again if moving these files will again break something
so i am asking you although i am pretty comfortable with $ cabal install
--with-compiler=/usr/local/bin/ghc-7.2.1 -v keys --dry-run
