I am new to Haskell and I am using cabal for a small project. The project is managed on github and it works fine if I run cabal run on the current code. There are also no errors if I enter ghci *.hs However, if I make any changes to the code at all, the following is printed to the terminal. What might be the issue here?

I am trying to set up a simple project so I can learn haskell, well, learn it from the ground up to get a better understanding of the theoretical concepts underpinning it. I do however seem to get this error when trying to build it using cabal.
I was trying to build it and was expecting the default main file for cabal to work.
My file system
module Main where
main :: IO ()
main = putStrLn "Hello, Haskell!"
I am using ghc version 8.10.7
I am running the following commands:
cabal init
cabal build
and then I get the error on the build command/
The full error:

Well, after checking/installing/updating gcc it ended up working after I made a new project in a different directory.
I followed the instructions here http://www.euterpea.com for installing Euterpea (a domain-specific language for computer music applications embedded in Haskell), and I received a message that certain packages and things failed to install (see the code below). How can I install the remaining packages?

I have included all the code, lest some particular relevant detail was omitted.
Edit
I have also tried to install Euterpea via stack. I get this message:
Mo-MacBook-Pro:~ Mo$ stack install Euterpea
Error: While constructing the build plan, the following exceptions were
encountered:
In the dependencies for Euterpea-2.0.6:
PortMidi must match ==0.1.6.1, but the stack configuration has no specified version (latest matching version is 0.1.6.1)
arrows must match >=0.4 && <0.5, but the stack configuration has no specified version (latest matching version is 0.4.4.2)
needed since Euterpea is a build target.
Some different approaches to resolving this:
* Consider trying 'stack solver', which uses the cabal-install solver to attempt to find some working build configuration. This can be convenient when dealing with many complicated constraint
errors, but results may be unpredictable.
* Recommended action: try adding the following to your extra-deps in /Users/Mo/.stack/global-project/stack.yaml:
- PortMidi-0.1.6.1
- arrows-0.4.4.2
Plan construction failed.

It has been suggested below that multiple packages are botched and that I should try re-installing all of them (in a single command, i.e. cabal install random tf-random QuickCheck Euterpea --force-reinstalls.
However, if I write cabal install random tf-random QuickCheck Euterpea --force-reinstalls I receive the following code:

What can I do to install Euterpea?
Installing the Euterpea package
This answer uses LTS 12.26 as I've verified it works, but this should work for most LTS releases (see bottom of step 2 for details).
Make a new Stack project:
stack new euter-test
cd euter-test
Edit stack.yaml and set the LTS to 12.26 and extra-deps to specify the versions of packages that aren't present in the LTS but are present on Hackage:
resolver: lts-12.26
...
extra-deps:
- Euterpea-2.0.6
- PortMidi-0.1.6.1
- arrows-0.4.4.2
- Stream-0.4.7.2
- lazysmallcheck-0.6
The errors you were getting on the Stack install ("PortMidi must match ==0.1.6.1, but the stack configuration has no specified version") indicate that a package you're using requires a particular version of a library, but the package repository (LTS snapshot) doesn't contain that library, so you need to specify it explicitly. Stack then prints which library and version is missing, so you can just keep trying stack build and adding the libraries until the build succeeds.
We use LTS 12.26 here, but by adding the extra-deps packages as described above, you should be able to get it working on any LTS.
Edit package.yaml and add Euterpea to the list of dependencies:
dependencies:
...
- Euterpea

module Main where
import Euterpea
main :: IO ()
main = play $ c 4 qn

Running the executable produced by the project should emit a tone if you're running a MIDI synthesiser:
stack exec euter-test-exe
Troubleshooting
If you get an error like *** Exception: No MIDI outputs!, then you're not running a MIDI synthesiser (see below). Make sure you run it in the background (eg. in another terminal).
If you don't get an error but there's no audio output, try running devices in GHCI to see what outputs are available, and then use playDev x instead of play, where x is the OutputDeviceID of the synth input port. Eg:
> devices
Input devices:
InputDeviceID 1 Midi Through Port-0
Output devices:
OutputDeviceID 0 Midi Through Port-0
OutputDeviceID 2 Synth input port (25952:0)
> playDev 2 $ c 4 qn
If you run devices and don't see any synth input ports, but you have fluidsynth running in the background, then you might need to restart ghci and try again.
Running a MIDI synthesiser
Here's a quick step-by-step to get Fluidsynth running on Debian (with guesses at a Mac setup along the way).
Install fluidsynth:
On Debian this is sudo apt install fluidsynth, on mac it could be brew install fluidsynth - there's quite a few articles on how to do this, just google it if in doubt.
Run fluidsynth:
On Debian using ALSA this is
fluidsynth -s -a alsa -m alsa_seq /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2
Instructing fluidsynth to run in server mode, use alsa as the audio driver and alsa_seq as the MIDI driver, and use the soundfont FluidR3_GM.sf2 (should be installed as part of the fluidsynth install).
On Mac, it seems like the correct commandline is:
fluidsynth -s -a coreaudio -m coremidi /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2
If you can't find the FluidR3_GM.sf2 file then it's likely it's been installed in a different location. As a last resort, you can just download a soundfont file and use that rather than the one provided by FluidSynth.
After running this, you should be given a prompt and maybe a few warnings, and fluidsynth will be running. Make sure it's running before using Euterpea, and keep it running while using Euterpea.
I depend on a package that needs alex to build, i also need ghcjs.

For reference: This is the cabal file of the dependency, unfortunately only found on github. This is my stack and my cabal file. There is also a reddit discussion that didn't go anywhere.
I've had nothing but trouble using cabal, not sure if it's due to a lack of understanding, or a faulty mental model, but things have been tough.
At the moment I'm just trying to get ghc-mod to work for my vim plugins. It usually works for a day or two and then starts failing for seemingly no reason with an error, the error I receive seems to change from time to time, right now I'm getting this one:
$ ghc-mod check Main.hs

Any ideas about how to fix this sort of thing? I've tried installing it again, but I get this (I think my cabal packages are all screwed up but don't know how to fix it):

This error was caused by having a mismatch between my local stack ghc version and the global ghc-mod ghc version, I updated the ghc version in the stack project to latest and everything is working fine.
I'm new to Haskell but I want to try and write some OpenGL experiments in it.
I've successfully installed OpenGL, GLUT and a few other packages but when I attempt to install GLUtil I get the following error:
Building GLUtil-0.9.0.1...
Failed to install GLUtil-0.9.0.1

I tried using older versions of GLUtil and its dependencies but it always ended the same way and I eventually just cleared and reinstalled the Haskell Platform (I didn't know about sandboxing).
One thing that stands out is that -includeC:\Users\Dav... looks to me like a typo, as if there should be a space between -include and C:\... but I don't know how to change this. I couldn't find CmdLine.hs, just the interface file CmdLine.hi which yielded no results.
Does anyone have any advice on how to remedy this?
It appears that there should be a space between the -include and the file name.
I created a version of GLUtil-0.9.0.1 that is already preprocessed and should work for you:
https://github.com/erantapaa/GLUtil-0.9.0.1-no-cpp
It assumes you are using GHC 7.10.x or later.
The steps to remove the dependency on CPP were:
files JuicyTextures.hs and ShaderProgram.hs just use CPP to include Control.Applicative for older versions of GHC, so I just commented out those lines. Also remove CPP from the LANGUAGE pragma.
Linear.hs uses CPP to generate code. You can create the pre-processed output with:
gcc -E - < Linear.hs > new-Linear.hs
Then remove lines beginning with a hash (#) and remove CPP from the LANGUAGE pragma.
in GLUtil.cabal comment out/remove the lines:
if impl(ghc >= 7.10.1)
