New submission from Andrew Pennebaker <andrew.pennebaker at gmail.com>:

There's a missing C library: curl.

C:\>ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.0.3
C:\>cabal --version
cabal-install version 0.10.2
using version 1.10.1.0 of the Cabal library
C:\>cabal install darcs
...
Configuring darcs-2.5.2...
Warning: Unknown extensions: NoMonoLocalBinds, NoMonoLocalBinds
setup.exe: Missing dependencies on foreign libraries:
* Missing (or bad) header file: curl/curl.h
* Missing C libraries: curl, curl
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system packages that
provide these libraries (you may need the "-dev" versions). If the libraries
are already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the
flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where they are.
If the header file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the
C
compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run configure
with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
darcs-2.5.2 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
