Description

After installing ghc 6.10.1 on Mac OS X Leopard, I tried to install cabal-install but failed miserably. The errors were too involved to describe here, so I'm attaching a file of the output.

The problem is that Cabal-1.4.0.2 does not build with ghc-6.10.

If you use the latest cabal-install package (ie 0.6.x instead of 0.5.x) then its bootstrap.sh will pull in a later version of Cabal that does work.
