Comment (by Ansible):

 Is that on the PI?  I compiled using qemu instead of a real PI, and I used
 a 2G ram disk for swap.  Without the swap the compile would not complete,
 nor would "cabal install cabal-install".

 Here's my build on the PI:

 and here's my .cabal folder.  Compiling cabal-install also required the
 ram disk.

 And this is the distro I was using:
