Can't install gtk-mac-integration - macos

I don't understand the error because it appears to be requiring a version of the same package that I'm trying to install.
$ cabal install gtk-mac-integration

setup: The pkg-config package gtk-mac-integration version >=0.9.6 is required
but it could not be found.

gtk-mac-integration-0.1.0.4 failed during the configure step. The exception
was:
ExitFailure 1

It doesn't want the Haskell package gtk-mac-integration, it wants the system package gtk-mac-integration. That is, the Haskell package you're trying to install is just a binding to the gtk-mac-integration library (which I think is bundled with GTK+); you'll have to install it separately before you can install the Haskell package.
If you already have GTK+ installed, then the problem is that the pkg-config tool Cabal uses to find external library dependencies can't find the corresponding .pc files for the library. I don't know how to fix that, though; at least not without more details.

Haskell Cabal packing install fail

I wiped and reinstalled the Haskell platform (Haskell.org: cabal, stack, ghc), but now no addon package will install properly. Cabal always end with ExitFailure1. Probably because not being able to find a dependency. Most of the times however it is the main package it cannot resolve for some reason.
Any experience with that phenomenon?

Solution to the broken package issues with Cabal: in OSX there's a 'Frameworks' directory. This holds a Haskell-framework, that you need to delete, otherwise ghc stays active in the background and package building by cabal will fail. In general you need to delete the (hidden) .cabal, .stack and .ghc directories, as well the Haskell framework in 'Frameworks'. There are also two (!) Haskell directories in ~/Library and ~/User/Library you'd better delete.
Stumbled across this when looking for the Rails framework. Thank you all for contributing with possible solutions!

Compilation error building intero

I cannot use emacs on a new stack project because intero fails to build.
I've just installed stack 1.6.3 on ubuntu 16.04
I created a new (lts-10.2) stack project ('play') using: stack new play
When I try to open the source files in emacs it fails to build intero
Intero is not installed in the Stack environment.

Could not install Intero!
(I've also tried building intero from the command-line with the same results.)
Edit: if I edit stack.yaml (in my project) to use lts-9.5 then intero builds OK - so this problem seems to be lts-10.2 specific.
Any ideas about how to fix this?

I encountered this recently when installing intero for an lts-11.8 project on Kubuntu 18.04. The problem is the system is missing the tinfo library. The following command fixed the issue for me.
sudo apt-get install libtinfo-dev

What am I doing wrong?

Can't compile a simple hello world using GHC 7.8rc2 and Windows 7 (or install packages with cabal)

I can't compile a simple hello world or install packages with cabal install when using ghc 7.8, cabal 1.18.1.3 and cabal-install 1.18.0.2.
When doing a cabal install stm (or any other package) from a command prompt Windows shows a "ghc.exe has stopped working" window, and the output is:

I installed(?) GHC 7.8 and cabal-install with the following steps
Downloaded GHC 7.8 RC2 (http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.8.1-rc2/ghc-7.8.0.20140228-i386-unknown-mingw32.tar.bz2)
Extracted the contents of the tar to folder $GHC$
Added $GHC$\bin and $GHC$\mingw\bing folder to the PATH.
Downloaded prebuilt cabal-install (
http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-install-1.18.0.2/cabal.exe)
Copied cabal.exe to $GHC$\bin so it's in the path
Run cabal update
Run cabal install stm (or any other package)
Before doing all this, I uninstalled my previous Haskell Platform, deleted folders cabal and ghc from %USER%\AppData\Roaming, and other haskell stuff from the Program Files folder.
I am not sure if GHC needed any additional installation steps
I need GHC 7.8 because I want to try out GHCJS.
PS:
I also added LANG=C to my env variables so that compiling does not throw a UTF-8 encoding error.
cabal --version shows:
cabal-install version 1.18.0.2
using version 1.18.1 of the Cabal library
Which seems to be ok except that the cabal library shows up as 1.18.1 instead of 1.18.1.3, but i'm not sure that's an error.
ghc-pkg list shows:

It's actually a bug in GHC; it was confirmed on the GHC mailing list, and two people can reproduce it (ghc's bug manager thread).
your ghc.exe path and cabal.exe path should be in your path variable
It has worked for me.

installing cairo on Mac OS Lion

I've just got a new mac, and I'm struggling to install Cairo for use with Haskell (diagrams in particular). I remember having a lot of problems with my previous machine, but I'm at a dead end this time.
$ cabal install cairo

The program pkg-config needs to be installed. There are various ways to do this (e.g. I imagine it's available as part of MacPorts and similar package managers) but in the event that you need to download and install it from source, this is the place:
