I'm having trouble installing the Haskell framework Snap on macOS Sierra. Whenever I install it, I get the following message:

I'm using the Haskell Platform installed using homebrew (brew cask install haskell-platform), and cabal version 2.0.0.2. I have tried using sudo and deleting my ~/.ghc file
There was an issue with full 8.2.1 binary platform builds that's just been resolved: https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2017-October/127979.html
This was likely an instance of that.
(see also: GHC cannot find libraries on fresh install of Haskell-Platform)
This looks like a bug in Cabal 2 (or potentially GHC 8.2). See https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/4728. I'd recommend sticking to GHC 8.0.2 for the moment with either cabal 1.24 or Stack. I'm the case of Stack, the version won't matter, since it will use the Cabal version shipped with GHC.

On Mac OS X, I'm not able to install ghc-mod due to that a dependency called 'happy' cannot be installed:

Any idea?
For some reason, cabal doesn't install executable dependencies, but you can get around this by installing by hand.
cabal install happy
then proceed with the original installation.
This problem generally doesn't go away with stack either, but the solution is similar
stack install happy
then continue with the installation.
it seems the program happy is not installed in your system, therefore the package haskell-src-exts-1.17.1 (a dependency of a dependency of ghc-mod) which depends on it fails to install.
The common wisdom today, especially for beginners, is to not use the tool cabal-install, but to use stack for everything you need instead. including installing ghc itself. after downloading stack I think all you have to do is run stack install ghc-mod to install ghc-mod.
I'm trying to install Yesod on my Mac (running Mavericks), but installation fails because of an error installing Persistent. Specifically, cabal install persistent yields:
Failed to install persistent-1.3.0.2
Updating documentation index /Users/Max/Library/Haskell/doc/index.html
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
persistent-1.3.0.2 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 11
(The full output is available as a gist)
I don't think this is an issue with conflicts, because I ran rm -rf ~/.ghc ~/.cabal before trying this (though I think 3 globally installed packages might not have been erased—unsure).
I'm using the latest Haskell Platform with the ghc-clang-wrapper script.
Cabal versions:
$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 1.16.0.2
using version 1.16.0 of the Cabal library
GHC version:
$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.6.3
Reinstalling Haskell platform allowed me to install Persistent, but the real issue was that I needed to install gcc48. Installing this cleared everything up. https://stackoverflow.com/a/21285413/1176156

I was having this same problem on OSX Mavericks. To get Idris to compile, I used homebrew to install gmp, then I had to do 'export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/libffi/3.0.13/lib/pkgconfig', and then 'cabal install idris -f-LLVM'. I got the tip to export the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable from this site:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/idris-lang/gxcdvRIA2OI/NqKSd4zHkI4J
Mavericks already had libffi installed, and I didn't want to install a second copy from source, which is what the PKG_CONFIG_PATH trick helped me avoid. Do 'brew info libffi' to find the correct path to export. Hopefully someone will create a homebrew formula for Idris soon...
The first error indicates you should install the LLVM development packages of your distribution (not through cabal) and the second indicates you should install the development package for the GCC libffi library. What Linux distribution are you using? Or are you on Windows/Mac?
GHC is too slow when it links my executable statically, so I want to test using "-dynamic" options. The following two commands cause the same error although cabal install mighttpd2 is ok.
$cabal install --ghc-options=-dynamic mighttpd2
$cabal install --enable-executable-dynamic mighttpd2

You need to install the dynamic version of all the libraries that mighttpd2 depends on. cabal-install is rightly complaining that the dynamic version of process-conduit is not available. You will have to reinstall mighttpd2's entire dependency tree with --enable-shared --enable-executable-dynamic passed to cabal-install.
hi i'm trying to install, (without having to update or install the latest compiler),reactive-banana-wx and one of the requirement's are failing
cabal install reactive-banana-wx
and heres the error

when i try to cabal install wxcore ,wx or wxc they all say failed and point towards wxc being required.
here's the error
cabal install wxc

here's my compiler info if it would be useful
ghc -v
Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 7.0.4, for Haskell 98, stage 2 booted by GHC version 7.0.4
I've got the same error trying to install phooey with ghc 7.4.1 on Debian tonight. The reason is a bug in the package wxc-0.90.0.4 and it should affect all wxHaskell-based packages. You can fix it, there is no need to downgrade your wxc package...
The easiest way to reproduce it is to do
cabal install wxc
or
cabal install glade
It might be a good idea to make sure that all prerequisites are in place, before you do it. wxc depends on a number of cabal and Linux packages and all of them should be installed and compiled... I did it in the most stupid way possible, just by running
cabal install wxc
and reading error messages which it spills out. This sweetie usually tells you what it wants... For instance, if it complains about cabal package x, just do cabal install x. If it complains about Linux package y, then use your Linux package manager and install the development version of this package, which is called normally lib<y>-dev in Debian. So, for instance, if
cabal install wxc
gives you an error saying that package gtk+2.0 is missing, you want to do
apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
The same story with cairo, glade2 and other GTK-related libraries
When you are green with all prerequisites, you want to install wxWidgets-2.9, which is currently in the Development stage... so, it doesn't have any binaries for Linux and you should build it yourself. Download the source code from wxWidgets website and build it. It is pretty easy to do, just:
untar/unzip the source code to your favorite directory
run ./config
run ./make
If you are on wxc-0.90.0.4, at this moment you should encounter our little bug... To keep the long story short, it is in the file eljpen.cpp, which you can find in
~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/wxc/0.90.0.4/wxc-0.90.0.4.tar.gz
Open the archive, go to the line 159 in the file and replace *_ref = NULL; with _ref = NULL or anything else what makes more sense. Then recreate the archive in the same place with the fixed eljpen.cpp file in it.
run ./make
It should work now.
run sudo make install (normally, you should have root privileges to insatll wxWidgets library...).
after it is done try to do
cabal install wx
again. It should be working now. I guess, after that you can enjoy your reactive-banana-wx, wxHaskell, phooey, etc.
PS http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3576397&group_id=73133&atid=536845. Why didn't I find it earlier? :/
I'v solved this problem on Lubuntu 12.10 so:
sudo cabal info wx
Synopsis: wxHaskell
Versions available: 0.11.1.2, 0.12.1.4, 0.12.1.5, 0.12.1.6, 0.13.2,
0.13.2.1, 0.13.2.3, 0.90, 0.90.0.1 (and 11 others)
I picked out different versions of wxHaskell, but only 0.13.2.3 was right.
sudo cabal install wx-0.13.2.3
...and everything has compiled and installed. Then I could install:
sudo cabal install reactive-banana-wx -fbuildExamples
That's no depends on the version of your Glasgow Haskell Compiler or the sort of your Linux.
