I just tried to make HSH 1.2 but it needs Cabal, which I apparently don't have installed. I also don't have runghc installed (referenced at cabal homepage). Using ghc instead failed as follows:

This suggests to me that my Haskell setup is not complete.
Yes, you are missing Cabal. Distribution.Simple is a module provided by Cabal. Perhaps you've just got a very old (or messed up) installation of GHC. All recent versions of GHC come with runghc and some version of the Cabal library. Duncan
