Oh, excuse me, it's "runGenProcess"

This is not specific to the Haskell Platform installer. The problem is that curl uses a ./configure script. The ./configure scripts generally do not work on Windows unless you have mingw and MSYS installed and are running cabal install from within an MSYS shell.

However the error message is poor. The ticket for that is here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/403

Understood. My hope was simply that someone could build and include HXT or something in Haskell Platform so I can use it. :)
