The 64-bit version work so I guess that means that a 32-bit GHC/64-bit OS combination only works on OS X?

Did you get it working on linux?

I'm getting the same error myself: ... ghc-cabal: Bad interface file: dist-install/build/GHC/Classes.hi magic number mismatch: old/corrupt interface file? (wanted 33214052, got 129742) make[1]: *** [install_packages] Error 1 make: *** [install] Error 2

This probably means that you have packages installed in your ~/.cabal from a 32-bit GHC and you're using a 64-bit one, or vice-versa. To avoid this problem you can configure cabal to put built packages into a directory containing the platform name. Cheers, Simon
