  • platform set to Linux
  • ghcversion set to 6.2.1

cabal-install-0.4.0 uses user install by default. One has to specify --global to get a global install. The downside is that root also has to specify this to get a global install.

Closing. If people want global installs by default when running as root then open another bug.
