Do you have any more details on that? What problem are you hitting exactly? A log file would help us see what's going on. I did test ghc-6.8 when releasing Cabal-1.6 and cabal-install-0.6.2.

Which log files would be helpful? From looking at "ps ax" when it was
running it seems that the linking (ld) part of the install is the bit that takes a long time. About 8hrs on this machine, whether I used 1. ghc --make Setup 2. ./Setup configure --user 3. ./Setup build or subsequently 1. ./dist/build/cabal/cabal update 2. ./dist/build/cabal/cabal install cabal-install Just let me know what you need, and I'll be happy to try a fresh install to recreate the problem if needed - once I've backed up this one!
