I've just installed and updated cabal, but it is still using the original version (1.16.0.2) instead of the updated 1.22.4.0. The commands I have run, after installation through apt-get:
$ cabal update
$ cabal install cabal-install cabal
This built and installed the new version of cabal-install and cabal as was expected, but when I do cabal --v it still prints:
$ cabal --v
cabal-install version 1.16.0.2
using version 1.16.0 of the Cabal library
What could be wrong here? My $PATH variable is:
$ echo $PATH
/home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.2/bin:/home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.2@global/bin:/home/user/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.2/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/home/user/.rvm/bin:/home/user/.rvm/bin
and cabal is located:
$ which cabal
/usr/bin/cabal
A sudo find / -name *cabal* yielded:
$ sudo find / -name *cabal*
/usr/bin/cabal
