[Haskell-cafe] confusion about cabal-install install

[Alexander Solla]

I'm trying to install cabal-install.  I ran:

    $ cabal update && cabal install cabal-install

After compiling, cabal reported:

    Installing executable(s) in /home/ajs/.cabal/bin

    Installed cabal-install-1.20.0.1

But now consider:

    $ cabal --version

    cabal-install version 1.16.0.2

    using version 1.16.0 of the Cabal library

    $ which cabal

    /home/ajs/.cabal/bin/cabal

    $ /home/ajs/.cabal/bin/cabal --version

    cabal-install version 1.20.0.1

    using version 1.20.0.0 of the Cabal library


I am confused.  My path is set to point to "$HOME/.cabal/bin/:$PATH"
