 Wanting to to build darcs 2.4.3, I downloaded the tarball (
 http://wiki.darcs.net/Releases/2.4 ) and uncompressed it in /tmp/ to
 run cabal install.
 I got the following error :

 cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
 darcs-2.4.3 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
 ExitFailure 127

 See http://hpaste.org/fastcgi/hpaste.fcgi/view?id=25412#a25412 for a
 full verbose log, but i think there is nothing informative to it.

 However, if I do "rm -fr dist" and try cabal install again, darcs
 build fine. Also, if I try in $HOME, cabal install works directly.

 Here are the versions of the software I'm using:

 cabal-install version 0.8.2
 using version 1.8.0.4 of the Cabal library

 ghc 6.12.1

 Linux distribution: Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx).

 I hope this will help you!
