+# Homebrew users
+
+Homebrew ships with a Cabal version newer than Stackage expects:
+
+    $ ghc --version
+    The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.8.3
+
+    $ cabal --version
+    cabal-install version 1.20.0.4
+    using version 1.20.0.3 of the Cabal library
+
+Stackage uses the Cabal version that ships with GHC, so when trying to install something you may get an error like:
+
+    Resolving dependencies...
+    cabal: Could not resolve dependencies:
+    next goal: Cabal (user goal)
+    rejecting: Cabal-1.18.1.4/installed-d6c... (global constraint requires
+    ==1.18.1.3)
+    trying: Cabal-1.18.1.3/installed-476...
+    trying: yesod-bin-1.4.2 (user goal)
+    next goal: ghc (dependency of yesod-bin-1.4.2)
+    rejecting: ghc-7.8.3/installed-1d5... (conflict:
+    Cabal==1.18.1.3/installed-476..., ghc => Cabal==1.18.1.4/installed-d6c...)
+    Dependency tree exhaustively searched.
+
+The workaround is to edit your `cabal.config` with
+
+``` diff
+-              Cabal ==1.18.1.3,
++              Cabal ==1.18.1.4,
+```
