That strikes me as slightly off, I'd expect it to install an appropriate one from the bootstrap. If not, you'll need http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-install-1.20.0.3/cabal-install-1.... and use the bootstrap install method (bootstrap.sh from the install package). The complication here is that it might pull in dependencies that differ from the Platform, which is why I would expect the Platform install script to do this itself so it can manage the dependencies appropriately.
`cabal' is the first program that `platform.sh' calls[1]. If the installation script does not work and I am not doing anything wrong , then I would rather file a bug report. Thanks for your help. [1] https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/blob/2014.2.0.0/platform.sh
