After following the installing from source code instructions I ran $ cabal configure --with-compiler=ghc-8.10.2 which is now stuck at resolving dependencies. It’s been like an hour… what’s going on?
'cabal.project.local' file already exists. Now overwriting it.

Resolving dependencies...
Update: after a while I started to just spam the enter key… and then voila it showed the dependencies are finished… I have no idea what happened, probably a console issue.
Check the version on cabal and ghc before continuing, it will help check if they installed properly post spamming enter 
Resolving dependencies…
this is not an issue… you should have patience

I have the same issue. Using AWS Ubuntu 20 instance. Do let me know if you somehow resolved this. I prefer AWS but can move to GCP if this issue sticks.
What error, the above error wasn’t actually an error
Cheers,
It takes a while but mines eventually run. Running ubuntu 20 on AWS. What configuration are you running the EC2 instances? Recommended now is 2vCPU and 8 GB memory.
Some output for long running tasks is helpful in creating the perception that your stuff is not broken. Maybe the long wait is not an issue from a functional perspective but it is most certainly an issue from a usability standpoint. I wonder how many potential node owners gave up because they didn’t know that Resolving dependencies could take as long as half an hour.

A little output that reads ‘Resolving dependencies…have patience’ would be gold.
