Just thought I install the latest version (0.4.0) from hackage and test it. Build and install went fine, but then it gets strange:
cabal: dist/Conftest.c: openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
This one is due to having an out of date cabal. Upgrade to darcs cabal, then rebuild cabal-install, and things should go fine.
Yes, this was rather unfortunate. A fix for something else that we put into Cabal at the last minute ended up breaking cabal-install. As Don says, it's fixed in the darcs version of Cabal (HEAD and 1.2 branch) which will also be released with ghc-6.8.2 (or possibly earlier if that looks like it's going to take a while). Duncan
