This is a haddock error and I presume a bug in haddock. I don't know whether
cabal installs things if haddock fails. You could do ghc-pkg list and see what's
there. If it didn't install then you can install "by hand":

1. Extract the sources and in that directory:
2. runghc Setup.lhs configure
3. runghc Setup.lhs build
4. runghc Setup.lhs install

You might want to do configure with --user - that's what cabal defaults to.
