If you want just testing ndp package, I think you can install with cabal
instead of README file way.

And you problem come from current rts' implemantion.
Current rts' code cause the problem when using -prof and -threaded combination.
So GHC's developper team omit this option to avoid problem by that
in ghc 6.6.x release phase.

If you want to use their combination, please vote above Ticket #886
by adding your e-mail address to 'cc' field and commebt your problem,
instead of just sending e-mail to this mailing-list.

Because GHC's team decides task priority by using this field and comment.
