Can't install c2hs and language-c

Question

I'm using cabal here to install package c2hs. However, it requires happy, so I installed happy with cabal install happy.

After, when trying to install c2hs and language-c I get package happy not found on both.

Here's the terminal log:

~> cabal install happy

Any ideas? Thank you.

Answer 1

I had to add ~/.cabal/bin to my path, and then it worked.
