This is weird, because on OS X Lion, and with the following versions, it
doesn't fail for me:

The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.2.1
cabal-install version 0.10.2
using version 1.12.0 of the Cabal library


 Nevertheless, you can try the following to do what cabal asks you to do:

cabal install --ghc-option=-XDatatypeContexts


Which will give a warning, but should succeed anyway.

Hope this helps,
Ozgur
