Hi Chris, It is my habit to compile the Setup.hs or Setup.lhs to setup with ghc --make Setup.hs -o setup. The ./setup configure ... is working. The ./setup build causes a segmentation fault. This is for every project I try (including ones with very default Setup.hs contents). The Cabal-1.2.3.0 used is supplied by the binary distribution of ghc 6.8.2 I tried the same thing and got the same result. Could it be a problem with how Cabal itself was built instead of GHC? So I sadly say there is still no working ghc 6.8.x for powerpc Leopard. I guess you're right.
