Hi,

  This is a box that used to work well. But today, I found that I could not install anything by cabal.

  I removed ~/.ghc and ~/.cabal to start all userspace thing from the beginning.

  I used Setup.hs to install Cabal, and bootstrap.sh to install cabal-install. All succeeded.

  Then I tried to install data-default-class, I got following. Notice the ld fail near the end.

  Versions: OS: Ubuntu Precise; ghc 7.8.2; Cabal/cabal-install: latest from github.

% cabal install -v3 data-default-class
