Background: I never got "cabal install" to work on OS X 10.5 with GHC 6.10.4, basically because zlib wouldn't work. Odd, because a perfectly good version of gunzip already exists on most platforms, and the code doesn't fall back to this version if needed.
Do you have any more information about this failure? It seems like it would be easier to get zlib to work than to replicate cabal-install. My painful story of getting zlib to work on 10.6 is chronicled here: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2009-November/018068.... But my problem should only have been an issue on OS X 10.6, not any version lower. Antoine
