The definition is guarded by:
    #if !MIN_VERSION_base(4,3,1)
so I would guess that you are using the cabal program to install, and
your cabal is linked against an old version of the Cabal library that
doesn't have this patch:
    Tue Dec 29 02:33:58 GMT 2009  Antoine Latter <aslatter at gmail.com>
      * Add parenthesis to macros in cabal_macros.h
      Now this like "#if !MIN_VERSION_base(4,2,0)" will work

"cabal --version" will tell you the library version, although I don't
know OTTOMH what version this was fixed in.


Thanks
