Indeed.
It was using the wrong cabal-install version. Even though I had installed
the newest cabal-install I needed to restart the xterm I was working in.
Thanks,

1) cabal update
2) cabal install cabal-install
3) rm ~/.cabal/config # old pre 1.18 config should go!
4) cabal update # also probably add ~/.cabal/bin to path
5) cabal install vector

Hi Conal,
Damn, I think I somehow totally missed this. :( I'll look into on my
Mavericks machine and see what's going wrong - I figured ./validate
would have caught this, but perhaps something strange is going on.
I filed a bug for you marked for 7.8.2:

Thank you Michael,
It is not clear how to install the latest cabal under Windows.
Apparently cabal cannot install itself (cabal install cabal), so
I tried simply downloading cabal.exe from the cabal site and
placing it in my path. cabal --version shows the correct version

My concern about the volume of warnings here is that it distracts from the
info I'm after, namely broken packages. One coping strategy seems to be
using the --simple-output flag to 'ghc-pkg check'. In that case, the
haddock warnings are suppressed, and I see just a list of broken package
names. A l

If anybody is, like myself, trying to find a link for the SHA256SUMS

Dominick,
I don't know what error you ran into, but here are a few tips:
* The "network" package requires configure, so you will likely need to
install it from an MSYS prompt.
* Make sure your existing cabal executable is version 1.18 or higher.
Execute `cabal --version` and `ghc --version` to
Thank you Austin!
I unpacked the Windows 64bit distribution and tried to update cabal as
instructed, but got this:

Hello all,
A minor amedment: I accidentally named one of the tarballs slightly wrong.
ghc-7.8.1-x86_64-apple-darwin-mountainlion.tar.bz2 should have been
ghc-7.8.1-x86_64-apple-darwin-mavericks.tar.bz2, similarly with the
.tar.xz. I simply forgot to rename it appropriately! The hashes have
