I have an old version of cabal-install so I downloaded cabal-install 1.20 and When installing it errors out.
Additional note: ghc 7.8.3
OS: CentOS 6.6
Error:

usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lHSparsec-3.1.7-ghc7.8.3
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error during cabal-install bootstrap:
building the network package failed.
When I try to run "cabal install network-2.5.0.0",getting following errors
root@gains: cabal install network-2.5.0.0

So, I run command yum groupinstall "development tools", installed c compiler tools and could compile c programs. Then,
checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in /tmp/network-2.5.0.023068/network-2.5.0.0':
I tried mount -o remount,exec,suid /tmp which solved the error.Its because of execution rights issue on the file system.
