I think the issue is that the installer was trying to install on top of an existing installation and that was causing issues.

Thanks. I shall give that a try.

Is it known to be broken? I find something in haskell-cafe archives from last spring about a such a problem, but I don't know where to look for anything more recent. I may be blind, but I cannot see anything in the tickets under "known problems".

I have been successfully running the 32-bit version for quite a while, but have begun to run into problems with linking haskell stuff against various 64-bit macports libraries.
