   I had to comment out the following in build.sh in order to avoid an invalid option error:

   # if [ -x ../${CABAL_INSTALL_INPLACE} ]; then
   # CABAL_INSTALL_FLAG=”–with-cabal-install=../${CABAL_INSTALL_INPLACE}”
   # fi

   Thanks for the tips, but it does not work: haskell-platform fails to install with “sudo checkinstall -y”:

   Installing GLUT-2.1.1.2…

   Error:
   The GLUT-2.1.1.2/Setup script does not exist or cannot be run
   make: *** [install] Error 2

   **** Installation failed. Aborting package creation.

   Restoring overwritten files from backup…OK

   Cleaning up…OK

   Bye.

   So cabal is never installed.

   Help appreciated in fixing this error.

   As of Jan 16 2010, there seem to be a problem with the install.sh … Problem and solution discussed here:
