Cabal does not install the man pages. Do:
cd /tmp

generally). If ~/.cabal/bin is on your PATH, and you're on a Debian
derivative, you're probably set.
On Debian systems, `manpath` will print the paths searched for manual
pages. The paths searched are inferred from your PATH. Experiments
indicate that, on Ubuntu, D/share/man will be searched for manual
pages whenever D/bin is on your PATH. So, having ~/.cabal/bin on your
PATH is enough to make the above example work. The `man manpath` does
