suhorng,
I tried to reproduce this on x64 Win7 but was not able to (I realize this is
not quite your situation). However, the message seems to be about the conf
file (or some step leading to its creation?) and I notice that the tf-random
conf file which gets installed for me includes some non-ASCII characters in the
a number of fields (author, maintainer, description), so perhaps this is
relevant. In the tf-random tarball that comes down from hackage, a number of
files (tf-random.cabal, each of the source files) have non-ASCII chars also
(e.g., in comments containing the author's name). These are just my
observations; I have expertise in the using ghc in non-ASCII, so this is
probably only minimally useful to you.

Just installed the Windows i386 version. Everything seems working. The
regextest and GLUT test both work. I've also successfully compiled Agda and
Idris.
It's a little sad that GHC on Windows has some sort of locale problem. As an
example,
if I manually install (compile!) cabal-install (1.20, say), then I wouldn't be
able to installtf-random. The registration process fails with
Failed to install tf-random-0.5
cabal.exe: Error: some packages failed to install: tf-random-0.5 failed
during the final install step. The exception was:
C:\Users\suhorng\AppData\Local\Temp\pkgConf-tf-random-02992.5: hGetContents:
invalid argument (invalid byte sequence)
Anyway, that is not HP's problem. It's awesome to see 2014.2 coming!

Looks like you have "old stuff" in ~/.ghc [George sent me his ghc-pkg dump.]
That is, things compiled with a prior repease of 7.8.3:
Warning: library-dirs: /opt/local/lib/ doesn't exist or isn't a directory
Warning: include-dirs: /opt/local/include/ doesn't exist or isn't a directory
These are due to the package hmatrix. It looks like it is expecting to find the
C libraries blas and lapack installed in /opt/local. Is this something you
built a while ago and removed?
Warning: haddock-interfaces:
/Users/gcolpitts/Library/Haskell/ghc-7.8.3/lib/Cabal-1.20.0.1/doc/html/Cabal.haddock
doesn't exist or isn't a file
This is more upsetting, since you compiled Cabal-1.20.0.1 with the newly
installed HP. I can reproduce this problem... and oddly, it only happens with
Cabal! The docs are built, but not installed.... haven't figured this one out
yet. It did uncover another bug in that the "master haddock" in the User area
ends up at the wrong place.
