It turned out to be a running-out-of-memory issue, as hammar suspected. I was able to get it to install (although it was painfully slow) by adding a 1GB swap file to the system:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=1024
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
Apparently EC2 instances come without swap by default.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://get-ghcup.haskell.org | sh
This error occurs when you have a very old cabal binary compared to your version of ghc.
You could jump through the package manager routes, or you could use the linux binary download from https://www.haskell.org/cabal/download.html
That should suffice to get you off the ground...

And I got stuck here. So how do I install diagrams. I don't really care how it gets installed (getting a little fed up with cabal) as long as it gets installed.
Notes: I am on linux. I also tried cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools.
The second error block says that:
diagrams-0.3 depends on glib-0.12.5.4 which failed to install.
diagrams-0.3 is a very old version of diagrams, and in normal circumstances cabal shouldn't be trying to install it. Recent versions of diagrams do not even depend on diagrams-cairo, so as long as you don't need the Cairo backend you can work around the Cairo/GTK issues by asking for the current version of diagrams, as in:
cabal install diagrams-1.2
Ideally, it would be good to find out why your cabal is pulling the old version. cabal install diagrams --dry-run (which only show the packages that would be pulled without actually installing them) and ghc-pkg list (which shows the packages currently in your system) might help figuring that out.
As for the Cairo-related issues, as Daniel Wagner suggests a PATH issue might be preventing cabal from using the latest versions of the gtk2hs-buildtools you have installed. For instance, you might have a global installation of the tools, which is overriding the local one you have done with cabal. ghc-pkg list allows you to verify that. Also, check this relevant question.

I generally find that cabal install's for more than half of big packages fail, rather a fatal flaw to new users!

This could be caused by:
* Loading two different object files which export the same symbol
* Specifying the same object file twice on the GHCi command line
* An incorrect `package.conf' entry, causing some object to be
loaded twice.
GHCi cannot safely continue in this situation. Exiting now. Sorry.

yesod uses a different version of alex package than the Haskell platform. I always install alex and happy from my distro's package manager apart from ghc and then use cabal. Alternatively, you can always use
cabal update && cabal install alex happy
cabal install yesod-platform
This most likely occurs due to trying to install with two versions of the time package simultaneously. Can you try running cabal install yesod-platform and see if the problem persists?
And as #Inaimathi said, this might be due to an older version of cabal. Perhaps also try cabal update && cabal install cabal-install.
