Comment (by alen_ribic):

 Currently, in the instructions, there is an indication to checkout the
 latest Cabal/cabal-install (it has the latest required patch).

 I built and installed the latest Cabal package and it is listed under ghc-
 pkg.

 Then I ran `bootstrap.sh` from cabal-install directory but got this error:

 {{{

 Environment variables I set for `bootstrap.sh` where:

 GHC=i386-apple-darwin11-ghc

 GHC_PKG=i386-apple-darwin11-ghc-pkg

 Any ideas as to what might be causing this to happen?
