Building cabal with cabal fails?

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

There was some issue with having a sufficiently up to date version of
Alex.  No idea whether that's your problem, but I'd get the latest Alex
anyway

| Hi,
| 
| Using GHC 6.4.2, in prepration for some cabal hacking, I decided to
| download Cabal from darcs and install it.
| 
| darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/Cabal --partial
| cd Cabal
| runhaskell Setup configure
| 
| And I get the error:
| 
| ./Distribution/Simple.hs:61:1: lexical error
| 
| Should this work? If not, what should I be doing.
| 
| Thanks
| 
| Neil
