So far I have tried out
ghc-7.6.1
ghc-7.6.3
ghc-7.4.2
ghc-7.10.3

I could not install ghc-7.10.3 as I wrote in an earlier message, the other 
ghc version I could.
However 
/home/oub/.cabal/bin/cabal --with-compiler=/home/oub/h-7.6/bin/ghc 
--with-ghc-pkg=/home/oub/h-7.6/bin/ghc-pkg --disable-library-profiling 
install cabal-install
(using all the different ghc versions)

failed always with the message
Cabal-1.22.8.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
HTTP-4000.3.3 depends on mtl-2.2.1 which failed to install.
cabal-install-1.22.9.0 depends on mtl-2.2.1 which failed to install.

so it seems the evil mtl package caused the installation problem.

anybody has an idea?

thanks
