Okay, so in "Why isn't Cabal hyperlinking my sources?", I found out that I needed haddock 2.16.2 to use cabal install --haddock-hyperlink-source. So, I installed it from gitHub by cloning it, and running cabal install -j in the repo, and it said

(Other stuff)
Configuring haddock-2.16.2...
Building haddock-2.16.2...
Installed haddock-2.16.2

It doesn't seem like it is installed though. First of all, cabal install --haddock-hyperlink-source still doesn't hyper link my documents. Also ghc-pkg haddock doesn't see haddock at all. If I run haddock --version, it still says 2.16.1. Same thing for ~/.cabal/bin/haddock --version. When I do cabal install haddock, it doesn't warn about a reinstall, but does notice that something is up with haddock-api.

How do I install the gitHub version of Haddock?

You installed it, it's probably just further down your path than the haddock you got from haskell platform or wherever you got haskell from – Cubic Aug 28 '15 at 22:55
@Cubic Do you know how I can get cabal to use it instead? – PyRulez Aug 28 '15 at 23:02
Just put it in your PATH. – ErikR Aug 29 '15 at 00:04
@user5402 I'm not even sure where I installed it to. – PyRulez Aug 29 '15 at 01:02
Reinstall it and carefully read the output. Also try using the -v flag with cabal to get more verbose output. – ErikR Aug 29 '15 at 03:07
Also look in the `dist` directory (might be in a subdirectory) – ErikR Aug 29 '15 at 03:11
Finally - here are my instructions for building the latest haddock: http://stackoverflow.com/a/32171973/866915 – ErikR Aug 29 '15 at 04:09
