Registering multiple package versions with `ghc-pkg`?

Question

I'm trying to set GHCand Cabalon FreeBSD 8.1. I installed GHC 7.0.1 (because it is the current stable version) and is now trying to install Cabal(for installation cabal-install), but it does not work with this error message.

%./Setup configure
Configuring Cabal-1.8.0.4...
Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing:
base >=4 && <3 && >=1 && <5, filepath >=1 && <1.2
%

Definitely, my version of the library is too high.

%ghc-pkg list

Should I upgrade to GHC 6.x? Or can I install a lower version of packages? (or side by side installation)

Answer 1

I had to downgrade GHC 6.x. I originally did this for Happstack. However, Happstack requires at least 6.12.x GHC, and installing Cabal on FreeBSD 8.1 with GHC 7.x is too complicated. (I could not succeed)

GHC 6.12.3 - GHC, ! Cabal, Happstack . - .

Answer 2
