If by "cabal install" you mean use the command "cabal" ... yeah, that would be great, if only I could install cabal-install, which fails.
With what error? Downloading and unpacking the .tar.gz bundle and then running
$ ./bootstrap.sh
in that directory should work.
Below is what I get *now* having just successfully installed a fresh GHC 7.0.3 and HP 2011.2.0.1. By "successfully installed" I mean that configure, make and make install didn't throw up any errors. I haven't tested that anything works yet.
$ ./bootstrap.sh Checking installed packages for ghc-7.0.3... parsec-2.1.0.1 will be downloaded and installed.
Hmmm?
network is already installed and the version is ok. Cabal-1.8.0.2 will be downloaded and installed.
That's a bad sign. Have you downoaded the bundle from the cabal-install page? That's not the right thing to do (yeah, somebody should tell unsuspecting travellers). With ghc-7, you should use cabal-install-0.10.*, download cabal- install-0.10.2 from hackage http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-install
mtl-1.1.0.2 will be downloaded and installed. HTTP-4000.0.8 will be downloaded and installed. zlib is already installed and the version is ok.

You see that that constraint is impossible, don't you?

Okay, $ghc-pkg unregister parsec-2.1.0.1 (unless you want to keep it) Try it with cabal-install-0.10.2, sorry for the inconvenience.
