Good to hear that installation with 'cabal install' works.

Actually there are two things: Cabal, the packaging system, and 
cabal-install, a front-end which also manages automatical installation of 
dependent packages. The shell command 'cabal' is from the cabal-install 
package. The Documentation you mention is for Cabal, and I think it is 
mostly of interest for package managers and not for users.
