BTW, I started to try the macports method (thinking that maybe
building on my machine would resolve the linker problem), but the
package up there seems to be the old one:
$ port info haskell-platform
haskell-platform @2009.2.0.2 (devel, haskell)
Description: This is the the Haskell Platform: a single,
standard Haskell distribution for every system. The Haskell Platform
is a blessed library and tool suite for Haskell distilled from
Hackage.
Homepage: http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/
Runtime Dependencies: ghc, hs-platform-cgi, hs-platform-fgl, hs-
platform-editline, hs-platform-GLUT, hs-platform-haskell-src, hs-
platform-html, hs-platform-HUnit, hs-platform-mtl, hs-platform-network,
hs-platform-OpenGL, hs-platform-parallel, hs-
platform-parsec, hs-platform-QuickCheck, hs-platform-regex-base, hs-
platform-regex-compat, hs-platform-regex-posix, hs-platform-stm,
hs-platform-time, hs-platform-xhtml, hs-
platform-zlib, hs-platform-HTTP, hs-platform-alex, hs-platform-happy,
hs-platform-cabal
Platforms: darwin
License: unknown
Maintainers: gwri...@macports.org
Maybe the dependencies haven't changed?
Also, not a big deal, but the instructions for the dmg version here http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/new/mac.html
page say to follow the instructions, but there aren't any packaged
with it. I mistakenly ran the "Haskell Platform 2010.1.0.0" installer
first thinking that maybe it would install ghc as a dependency, but
this crashed. Then I uninstalled everything, installed GHC-6.12.1-
i386.pkg, then "Haskell Platform 2010.1.0.0", and rebooted... and then
experienced the cabal problem.
BTW, there's some description of linker flags here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151112
but the developer claims 10.5.8 solved his problems (that's what I'm
on).

fine so
far. I'll check out cabal-install in the next couple days.
If there is an issue here it'd be with the binaries that ship with the
platform, not GHC; can you check /usr/local/bin/cabal to see if yours
has the same issue?
I'm betting I probably have to re-link the binaries with some magic
"don't
break on Leopard" linker flag.
