Description

When doing 'gmake install' for cabal i got via darcs on a FreeBSD System, the following error happens:

Building cabal-install-1.1.4...
Chasing modules from: CabalInstall.hs
Could not find module `Distribution.Compat.FilePath':
  it is hidden (in package Cabal-1.1.4)
  (imported from CabalInstall.hs)

The following patch solved the problem for me (though it's probably not a real solution):
