Cabal 1.2.3.0 seems to be working. What am I doing wrong? Or is this an unsupported combination?
It's an untested combination. I checked it with 6.6.1 but not 6.6.
It is supposed to work (indeed it's supposed to work with 6.4) so we should figure out what's going wrong.
Can you : $ runghc Setup.lhs configure -v3
