I am using Debian, not Mac. It is possible the problem may be with the binary release for Debian x86_64, or it could just be my Cabal config file.
When I install the binary distribution onto Debian, I simply run "make install" in the ghc-7.8.2 directory. I don't know how this install process the creates the GHC package registry, but after a fresh install, the output of the "ghc-pkg list" command shows that "terminfo-0.4.0.0" is NOT installed even though there the /usr/local/lib/ghc-7.8.2/terminfo-0.4.0.0 directory clearly exists and is populated with the correct library files. But since it is not registered Cabal tries to re-build it and overwrites the existing "terminfo-0.4.0.0" package. After a fresh install on Mac or Fedora, I wonder if "terminfo-0.4.0.0" shows up in the GHC package registry? It could be the package registry for the Debian binary distribution missed that detail.
