Hi Josef,

What generates dist/setup-config? When I run "runhaskell Setup.hs configure", nothing including dist/setup.config gets generated. ??

Ok, that sounds more alarming. Unfortunately I have no idea what could be the cause of this. Hopefully someone with a bit more cabal knowledge can help out.

We've been through it off-list. It's failing when calling ghc for the first time but we cannot track down why. To help in future cases I've changed the logging of calling external programs slightly so that at the maximum verbosity level we now report the error code that the process returned if it was non-0. That'll help us confirm if it really was the external process failing or if it failed sometime after that but before the next log message. Duncan
