Cabal: lifted-base-0.1.1 won't install because of "unrecognized option"

I'm trying to install hdbc-sqlite with Cabal in Windows. I found some help from this nice post, but the installation of Sqlite3's dll and def files failed on a package called lifted-base-0.1.1 because of an unrecognized option --disable-benchmarks.

Maybe I could fix this problem by modifying the installer's source code and removing this unrecognized option, and then manually installing the package, if manual installations are possible? Or is there a less tedious solution?

Did you try cabal update?

I would first try a more recent version (of lifted-base) like 0.1.2 or 0.2. Then I would manually download the tar file and use this (change the path in the import command).

Also try to upgrade your GHC / Haskell platform, you apparently describe a known issue.
