Is it possible that your system is actually running out of memory? ghc is rather RAM-hungry and it might fail to build cabal if you have less than around 1G free.
In any case, the ghc 7.6 line is no longer being developed so if you do
Thanks. I tried increasing the swap by another 1 GB and still get this problem. think it may be
a bug in ghc, try ghc 7.8 first (you'll have to install cabal 1.18 or newer to work with ghc 7.8).
Thanks. I will try upgrading to cabal 1.18.x. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9904#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
