Hi there! I have the same problem. The machine is running Ubuntu 7.04 x86. ghc is v6.6 as provided by Ubuntu -- the Ubuntu version number is 6.6-3. The complete cabal-bin command-line, as executed by "make", is: /home/zooko/playground/ghc/ghc-6.10.1/libraries/cabal-bin /usr/bin/ghc /home/zooko/playground/ghc/ghc-6.10.1/libraries/bootstrapping.conf configure --distpref dist-stage2 --flags=-stage1 --flags=ncg --flags=ghci --ghc-option=-DGHCI_TABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE --enable-library-profiling --with-compiler=/home/zooko/playground/ghc/ghc-6.10.1/ghc/stage1-inplace/ghc --with-hc-pkg=/home/zooko/playground/ghc/ghc-6.10.1/utils/ghc-pkg/install-inplace/bin/ghc-pkg --prefix=/NONEXISTENT --bindir=/NONEXISTENT --libdir=/NONEXISTENT --libexecdir=/NONEXISTENT --datadir=/NONEXISTENT --docdir=/NONEXISTENT --haddockdir=/NONEXISTENT --htmldir=/NONEXISTENT --libsubdir='$pkgid' --with-gcc=gcc --with-ld=/usr/bin/ld --configure-option='--prefix=/usr/local/stow/ghc-6.10.1' --configure-option=--with-cc=gcc --with-hsc2hs=/home/zooko/playground/ghc/ghc-6.10.1/utils/hsc2hs/install-inplace/bin/hsc2hs --ghc-option=-DSTAGE=2 And the complete output is: Configuring ghc-6.10.1... cabal-bin: At least the following dependencies are missing: Cabal -any, base <3, filepath >=1 && <1.2, haskell98 -any, hpc -any, template-haskell -any, unix -any Adding "-v" makes no difference.
