Hi,
I don't think this is the same problem as the one mentioned by Alex
(installing `network' works for me):
{----------------------------------------------
$ cabal install X11
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring X11-1.4.6.1...
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-compiler

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
X11-1.4.6.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
----------------------------------------------}
Converting the offending file (Extras.hsc) to UTF-8 manually solves it:
{----------------------------------------------
$ file Extras.hsc

Hi all,
We are pleased to announce the second release candidate for GHC 6.12.1:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.12.1-rc2/
As well as the source tarball: ghc-6.12.0.20091121-src.tar.bz2 there are installers for Windows (i386) and OS X (i386), and binary distributions for x86_64/Linux and i386/Linux. For the Linux binary distributions, the "linux-n" tarballs are recommended over the "linux" tarballs.
Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release!
Thanks Ian, on behalf of the GHC team
