Apparently a "user" install of uuagc and fgl isn't good enough. Fun to know.
I've found user installs don't work at all on OS X, various people in #haskell were rather surprised to discover this, so apparently it's not the default behavior on other platforms.
Currently, user installs are the default on all platforms except Windows.
It really rather makes "cabal install" rather odd – because it doesn't actually install anything you can use without providing extra options!
It should work fine, you'll need to give more details.
This has been the result, at least every time I've installed ghc: $ cabal install xyz $ runhaskell Setup.hs configure -- where abc depends on xyz Configuring abc-0.0... Setup.lhs: At least the following dependencies are missing: xyz -any $ sudo cabal install --global xyz $ runhaskell Setup.hs configure Configuring abc-0.0... $ runhaskell Setup.hs build ... Bob
