Are you behind a firewall, or a proxy? Cabal doesn't seem to play well with corporate networks and proxies.

Ozgur,
 
Thanks for your reply.
 
I have tried with at ghc command prompt:
 
ghc>cabal update -v
 
But the the message remains the same as before:
 
Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
cabal: failed
Is the any method to install manually? or if any.
 
Regards,
 
Deb

The following message appears:
 
Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
cabal: failed
 
Is there any solution for it please?

To start with, you can run cabal update -v to get a more detailed output about the cause of the failure.
