I followed the instructions and the invocation of

    cabal install git-annex --bindir=$HOME/bin -f\"-assistant -webapp -webdav -pairing -xmpp -dns\"

resulted in the following error:

    Test.hs:107:41: Not in scope: `errMessage'
    Failed to install git-annex-5.20140306
    cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
    git-annex-5.20140306 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
    ExitFailure 1

I used the Haskell Platform for Mac OS X (10.8)
