Duncan, I got the latest cabal. The stack overflow is fixed. But the install command still does not work (on a very simple package). Attached is the verbose output. It does not like to proceed somewhere between configure and build. But the verbose is not telling why!
I also attached my cabal dance with exactly the same configure options. ---- /home2/ecoin/garden> cabal install -v HTTP-Simple /home2/ecoin/ghc/bin/ghc --numeric-version looking for package tool: ghc-pkg near compiler in /home2/ecoin/ghc/bin found package tool in /home2/ecoin/ghc/bin/ghc-pkg /home2/ecoin/ghc/bin/ghc-pkg --version /home2/ecoin/ghc/bin/ghc -c /tmp/tmp26702.c -o /tmp/tmp26702.o /usr/bin/ld -x -r /tmp/tmp26702.o -o /tmp/tmp26703.o Reading installed packages... /home2/ecoin/ghc/bin/ghc-pkg list --global --user 'HTTP-Simple-0.1' is cached.

So at this point configuring the HTTP-Simple package is failing without any error message. That's not so good. :-)
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: HTTP-Simple-0.1
So, for debugging, try configuring that package manually and see if the behaviour is the same and if so what the exit code is. Duncan
