I'm getting a "permission denied" error when I try the following command:
$ cabal update
I'm on Mac OS 10.6. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

First: are you sure you're running it as the correct user? Have you somehow set in your ~/.cabal/config
(or wherever the settings are kept on OSX) that it should do it as a global install?
Also check the permissions of where the tarball will be downloaded to:
$ ls -l ~/.cabal/packages/
$ ls -l ~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/00-index.*
This should show that your user is indeed allowed to download the list of packages.
