尝试使用 Cabal 安装 ghc-mod 时出现 ExitFailure 9

Question

当我尝试用 cabal 安装它时，我得到了

~$ cabal install ghc-mod

ExitFailure 9

我不确定从这里去哪里。我如何才能了解有关失败原因的更多信息？

编辑：我使用的是 GHC 版本 7.4.1 和 Cabal 版本 1.14.0

在详细模式下运行 Cabal 似乎没有给出任何提示，除了：

...

事实证明这是一个内存不足的问题，正如 hammar 所怀疑的那样。通过向系统添加一个 1GB 的交换文件，我能够安装它（尽管速度很慢）：

dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=1024
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile

显然 EC2 实例默认没有交换。
