Run the configure step again with -v3, we should be able to see in the log exactly what string we got back from ghc. Also, to make sure you're using the version of the Cabal library you expect, try: ghc --make Setup.hs -package Cabal-1.2.3.0 ./Setup configure That way we know what we're using, even if you happen to have multiple versions of Cabal installed or if runhaskell happens to point at hugs rather than ghc.
