Define the environment variable:
C_INCLUDE_PATH=D:\ghc\ghc-6.10.2\include\mingw
(you can add more directories, separate them by ';')
To let the linker find the libraries, define LIBRARY_PATH.
Hmm, that is annoying.
I've filed a tracker bug here:
http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/11
and also noted the issue here:

I am not absolutely sure, that you need to set these environment vars in
this case, but I needed it for most packages with headers and external
libs; this is what Raja wrote to me:
Thank you.
Actually I have already set C_INCLUDE_PATH environment variable with
the right set of directories.
Even after that error trace was occurring.
I was suggested that I launch cabal from msys instead of launching via
window's cmd.exe.
That worked. I have no explanation for that behavior.
