You mean to run: cabal install parameterized-data cabal configure expects to be run inside the build tree. It's looking for a Setup.hs in the current directory. The configure command is for developers working with their own packages locally, rather than for working with released packages directly from hackage. There are basically two sets of commands, those for working with released packages by name, and those for working with a local package in the current directory. I'll tried to make that clearer in the cabal-install README, and perhaps in the --help output in future.
