I try install install glib via cabal

Failed to install glib-0.13.0.7
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
glib-0.13.0.7 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
user error (The package 'glib' requires Cabal library version -any && >=1.18
but no suitable version is installed.)
evgeny#virtuos:~$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 1.20.0.3
using version 1.20.0.2 of the Cabal library
what's wrong?
OS: Ubuntu 14.10
Cabal 1.20.0.3
GHC: 7.6.3
Run cabal install cabal-install. Daniel Wagner's suggestion will most likely provide different results than cabal --version.

I'm completely new to Haskell and I'm trying to replicate the code.world environment locally, so I need to install codeworld-api so that I can import CodeWorld. The problem is that when I run cabal install codeworld-api, it fails, and the following errors occur:
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
codeworld-api-0.7.0-JVbla7smM91CfqAXV0vVqz depends on codeworld-api-0.7.0
which failed to install.
haskell-src-exts-1.23.1-Z8xb2tkymYIClPofvAOw3 failed during the configure
step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
haskell-src-meta-0.8.7-GrcU6O1imfWLP5hRNzLFKK depends on
haskell-src-meta-0.8.7 which failed to install.
haskell-tests-0.1.0.0-IkWvWTmkph53PXtIhZGNWg depends on haskell-tests-0.1.0.0
which failed to install.
reflex-0.8.1.0-5XPDDia7wXx4bpQRZBxYDv depends on reflex-0.8.1.0 which failed
to install.
I also tried to add codeworld-api in the build-depends section in .cabal, but nothing changes.
I've read this, but --allow-newer also does nothing.
I tried, with no success:
cabal update
cabal install Cabal cabal-install
cabal new-install codeworld-api
cabal new-build
codeworld-api also doesn't show up in ghc-pkg list.
I have no idea what's happening...

Indeed i wasn't expecting something like this. I'm stunned.
Edit:
Fixed with #duplode comment
Further edit:
Anybody knows why i'm still getting this?
ramiro#omfg-hello:~/Haskell/happstack-server$ sudo cabal new-test all
cabal: unrecognised command: new-test (try --help)
At least i get the correct cabal version now
ramiro#omfg-hello:~/Haskell/happstack-server$ cabal --v

Non-sudo vs sudo.
I followed the procedure here for installing GHC and cabal, and then for ghc-mod.
But, I get this error at this step
cabal update && cabal install cabal-install
Configuring cabal-install-1.24.0.2... Failed to install
cabal-install-1.24.0.2 cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:

If you install haskell-platform via apt-get, version of ghc is under 7.10.3 until yakkety (Ubuntu 16.10).
This is problematic because cabal-1.24 requires ghc >= 8.0.1.
To solve this
install more recent version of ghc from its code,
just use stack and ghc-mod for stack.
P.S. if you are emacsen, I recommand you to use intero (site) instead of ghc-mod.
Following the instructions from this post on how to update cabal-install, I seemed to be able to install the latest version (or at least some version > 1.18, which is what I wanted.

However, when I tried cabal sandbox, it failed, so I checked cabal --version.
$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 1.16.0.2

As you can see, the version is not the one that cabal claimed to install.
Adding ~/.cabal/bin to my path did nothing to help. (Yes, I did restart my terminal).
$ echo $PATH

I tried restarting my computer, but still:
$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 1.16.0.2

I am using Ubuntu 14.04.
You should add /home/kavi/.cabal/bin to the beginning of the $PATH.
which cabal tells which executable shell will pick to execute, on my machine:
% echo $PATH
/Users/ogre/.local/bin:...
% which cabal

I'm trying to install Yesod on my Mac (running Mavericks), but installation fails because of an error installing Persistent. Specifically, cabal install persistent yields:
Failed to install persistent-1.3.0.2
Updating documentation index /Users/Max/Library/Haskell/doc/index.html
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
persistent-1.3.0.2 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 11
(The full output is available as a gist)
I don't think this is an issue with conflicts, because I ran rm -rf ~/.ghc ~/.cabal before trying this (though I think 3 globally installed packages might not have been erased—unsure).
I'm using the latest Haskell Platform with the ghc-clang-wrapper script.
Cabal versions:
$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 1.16.0.2
using version 1.16.0 of the Cabal library
GHC version:
$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.6.3
Reinstalling Haskell platform allowed me to install Persistent, but the real issue was that I needed to install gcc48. Installing this cleared everything up. https://stackoverflow.com/a/21285413/1176156
