As for the platform, if it is giving you trouble, don't shy away from just using GHC and cabal as normal! After you've cabal installed a few big packages, you will find that you've acquired many of the most popular packages.
If by "cabal install" you mean use the command "cabal" ... yeah, that would be great, if only I could install cabal-install, which fails. Or do you mean "manual install" of Cabal packages? Either way, I'm not making much progress.
What I do is get GHC installed, then download the cabal-install package from hackage and use the bootstrap.sh installer it comes with. Then you can use the cabal executable to install packages as you go. Anthony
