Can you try running the setup script manually?
ghc --make Setup.hs
./Setup configure
and see if it prints an error that's any more helpful?
Also, what operating system and version of ghc do you have?

Has anyone else hit an unexplained *ExitFailure 139* when trying to install the *haskeline* package?
Thanks, -db
