1237	misleading error message from cabal when versions differ	guest		"Using cabal, I do './Setup.hs configure', './Setup.hs build', and 'sudo ./Setup.hs install'.  Unfortunately, root's $PATH pointed to a different GHC (6.7 at some point, and not 6.4.2 which I was using), which resulted in the error message:

   Setup.hs: error reading ./.setup-config; run ""setup configure"" command?

Of course, there was nothing wrong with .setup-config, so I spent some time investigating permissions, before int-e suggested that the search path was at fault."	bug	closed	normal		None	6.7	invalid			Unknown/Multiple	Unknown/Multiple		Unknown
