When I install glib this is the error that I get. I think my problem has to do with the "legacy fallback" part but I have no way to fix that.

I have done the below steps to install cabal . I have already installed haskell platform using sudo apt-get install haskell-platform
http://coldwa.st/e/blog/2013-08-20-Cabal-sandbox.html
Building Cabal from git
Assuming you already have a previous version of cabal installed:
$ git clone git://github.com/haskell/cabal.git /path/to/cabal
$ cd /path/to/cabal
$ cabal install Cabal/ cabal-install/
However when I try to initialize a sandbox, it throws error as below.
vagrant#vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-32:/usr/lib/haskell-packages$ cabal sandbox --help
cabal: unrecognised command: sandbox (try --help)
Adding more details:
vagrant#vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-32:/usr/lib/haskell-packages$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 1.16.0.2
using version 1.16.0 of the Cabal library
vagrant#vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-32:/usr/lib/haskell-packages$ which cabal
/home/vagrant/.cabal/bin/cabal
vagrant#vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-32:/usr/lib/haskell-packages$ cabal --help
This program is the command line interface to the Haskell Cabal infrastructure.
See http://www.haskell.org/cabal/ for more information.
Usage: cabal COMMAND [FLAGS]
or: cabal [GLOBAL FLAGS]
Global flags:
-h --help Show this help text
-V --version Print version information
--numeric-version Print just the version number
Commands:
install Installs a list of packages.
update Updates list of known packages
list List packages matching a search string.
info Display detailed information about a particular package.
fetch Downloads packages for later installation.
unpack Unpacks packages for user inspection.
check Check the package for common mistakes
sdist Generate a source distribution file (.tar.gz).
upload Uploads source packages to Hackage
report Upload build reports to a remote server.
init Interactively create a .cabal file.
configure Prepare to build the package.
build Make this package ready for installation.
copy Copy the files into the install locations.
haddock Generate Haddock HTML documentation.
clean Clean up after a build.
hscolour Generate HsColour colourised code, in HTML format.
register Register this package with the compiler.
test Run the test suite, if any (configure with UserHooks).
bench Run the benchmark, if any (configure with UserHooks).
upgrade (command disabled, use install instead)
help Help about commands
For more information about a command use:
cabal COMMAND --help
To install Cabal packages from hackage use:
cabal install foo [--dry-run]
Occasionally you need to update the list of available packages:
cabal update
You can edit the cabal configuration file to set defaults:
/home/vagrant/.cabal/config
vagrant#vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-32:/usr/lib/haskell-packages$ cabal COMMAND --help
cabal: unrecognised command: COMMAND (try --help)
vagrant#vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-32:/usr/lib/haskell-packages$ cabal sandbox --help
cabal: unrecognised command: sandbox (try --help)
The Cabal installed by apt is a little older and this is likely the one in your PATH. It gets installed to /usr/bin. You can check with:
which cabal
And to see the version:
cabal -v
You should put the one in ~/.cabal/bin in your PATH first with:
export PATH="$HOME/.cabal/bin:$PATH
(Probably best to put this in your ~/.bash_profile or similar)
On my system:
.whogan:~$ which cabal
/home/whogan/.cabal/bin/cabal
.whogan:~$ cabal -V
cabal-install version 1.22.6.0
using version 1.22.4.0 of the Cabal library
.whogan:~$ /usr/bin/cabal -V
cabal-install version 1.16.0.2
using version 1.16.0 of the Cabal library
Edit: Tried with a new Vagrant box, ran apt-get install haskell-platform and install from git:

I'm trying to upgrade cabal to the latest version because the current version has a bug:
cabal --version
cabal-install version 1.16.0.2
using version 1.16.0 of the Cabal library
which cabal
/usr/bin/cabal
curl http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-install-1.22.3.0/cabal-install-1.22.0.3.tar.gz
tar xvfz cabal-install-1.22.3.0.tar.gz
cd cabal-install-1.22.3.0
cabal install
It seems to install cabal 1.22.3.0 in ~/.cabal but there's no bin directory in it, there're only share, packages, logs, lib directories and I can't find executable in the folder.
So can I find the new cabal which I've just installed?
UPDATE:
cabal update
cabal install cabal-install

Currently in ghc-7.10 there seems to be no way to upgrade cabal-install from 1.16 (which it is shipped with and reverts to when deleting .ghc).
Workaround:
install ghc-7.8 and
upgrade cabal-install
switch back to ghc-7.10
https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2014-December/117512.html
Luckily for me, I already had a script ready for switching versions globally:
#!/bin/bash -e
if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
echo "usage: $0 <version> \# e.g.: $0 7.8.3 - being run for example in /usr/local/bin"
exit 1
fi
VERSION=$1
sudo rm ghc
sudo ln -s ghc-${VERSION} ghc
sudo rm ghci

sudo ln -s ghc-pkg-${VERSION} ghc-pkg
sudo rm haddock
sudo ln -s haddock-ghc-${VERSION} haddock

(May need adjustment depending on your ghc install.)
Try installing it using cabal itself:
cabal update
cabal install cabal-install
After running either cabal install or cabal build, look in ./dist/build/cabal/ for the built cabal binary.
You can also use this recipe:
cabal get cabal-install
cd cabal-install-1.22.4.0 # or whatever the get command says
cabal build
# binary resides in dist/build/cabal

lens-4.1.2 depends on mtl-2.0.1.0 which failed to install.
mtl-2.0.1.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
So looks like mtl-2.0.1.0 is broken. However some more dependency tracking reveals that nothing in the lens package definition actually depends on that version of mtl. Infact, the next thing I tried was -
$ cabal install -j aeson
$ cabal install -j free
$ cabal install -j lens
And that succeeds without problems.
So why would cabal try to install mtl-2.0.1.0 when installing lens directly? I've tried removing my .ghc and .cabal directories and repeating the steps, with the same results. The cabal version I'm using is 1.16 -
$ cabal -V
cabal-install version 1.16.0.2
using version 1.16.0 of the Cabal library
The workaround that I am using is to first install transformers-compat with the transformers 3 flag
$ cabal install -ftransformer3 transformers-compat
and then install lens with the transformers 0.3.0.0 constraint
$ cabal install --constraint="transformers==0.3.0.0" lens
I hit this error too. I think I've managed to fix it by manually unpacking mtl-2.0.1.0, explicitly adding catch to the import list of Control.Exception in Control/Monad/Error/Class.hs (L:55), then running cabal install.
After that I was able to run cabal install lens. I'd be interested to know if that works for you too!
