Install failure on Mac OS X with GHC 7.0.2

Installing libclang using cabal fails for me. Here are the messages I received:

ExitFailure 1

Here is the other information I have that I believe may be relevant:

$ type llvm-config
llvm-config is /opt/local/bin/llvm-config
$ llvm-config --version
2.9
$ uname -a

$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.0.2
$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 0.10.2
using version 1.10.1.0 of the Cabal library

Any guidance for how to proceed would be appreciated.

Please update cabal (cabal update) and try again.
That's a bug from 0.0.7 and before, should be resolved with 0.0.8 along with proper garbage collected objects.

Hello Chetan,

I have updated cabal, and libclang version 0.0.8 solves the issue.

Thank you for the quick response.

best regards,
Marc
