I would like to install a package using cabal, but I get this error:
Warning: cannot determine version of D:\Program Files\Haskell
Platform\8.0.2\mingw\bin\gcc.exe :

`gcc.exe' failed in phase `C Compiler'. (Exit code: -1073741502)
The package is stm:
cabal install stm
I've installed the full x64 version of Haskell Platform on my Windows 10 PC.
The error is almost the same as here: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/4442
But that is not answered
Win10 Creators Update changed some APIs that ghc was affected by. You may be seeing the result of this. If you have Win 10 build 15019 or later replace your gcc.exe as detailed at the ghc-compat repo as see if that helps.

I'm trying to install ghc-mod for GHC 8.0.1 on windows/x64. When I try to install ghc-mod via cabal install ghc-mod I get an error saying my C compiler isn't working (it is using the c-compiler bundled with ghc).
Here is the output (of the second time I ran the command. Its basically what the first one says but reduced to the error message):

Could you please help me to install ghc-mod or provide any other way of installing it.
I already trieded reinstalling Haskell since I'm just starting off but this didn't make any difference.
And YES I added the 3 lines provided on the haskell homepage.
I can't know for certain, but thought I'd write an answer with what I think is going on.
The old-time package contains a configure script, which is a Unix shell script used to (surprise!) configure the package. The Cabal build system allows packages to automatically integrate configure, and will run the script for them. On POSIX systems, there's always a shell easily available. However, on Windows, that's not the case. I believe that's the problem you're running into.
Now the tricky part: why don't you have a shell? In theory, the Haskell Platform ships a shell. Well, here are my guesses:
For Stack usage, there's a Haskell Platform bug where Stack cannot find the MSYS tools, which include the shell script. Newer versions of Stack work around this bug, but passing in --no-system-ghc tells Stack to ignore any installed toolchain and manage the installation itself, which is more reliable than using HP's copy.
For Cabal usage, I'm less certain. I think the HP team decided to require you to use a special batch program to set environment variables correctly, so if you just run cabal install foo from a normal command window, Cabal won't find MSYS and it will fail. However, without more information, I can't be certain this is the case.
My personal recommendation: uninstall Haskell Platform, and use the recommended Stack installation instructions. In your case, that's just downloading and running the 64-bit Windows installer.
Finally: your suspected problem is not actually a problem; on Windows, pathnames longer than 8 characters can be compressed in the way you see (with ~1 at the end). There's nothing buggy in that path display.

Hello!
I'm trying to get hs3 installed to my haskell platform so that I can use the haskore-supercollider package (it's a required dependency). However, when I attempt cabal install, it crashes on the some files I believe to be related to hosc. Here's a text readout of the error:
Sound/SC3/UGen/Help.hs:26:46: Not in scope: `lookupEnv'
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
hsc3-0.15 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
I've attempted a number of things including updating cabal, reinstalling hosc, and throwing some flags on the install, or getting the install from a different source (slavepianos.org). Still though, I keep getting the same error. Here's an image of the error for reference:

Thanks for your help!
You appear to have reached "Cabal Hell".
It looks to me like hsc3 for versions later than 0.13 depends on GHC being at least version 7.6 (the version which added the lookupEnv function), while Ubuntu 12.0.4 provides 7.4. This shows up as a compilation error because hsc3 has a badly set version bound on the base package.
You might try either of:
Installing a later version of GHC. It's currently at 7.8 with 7.10 expected out next month.
Using the older haskore-supercollider version 0.2, which uses hsc3 0.13. (Alas, when I try this with --dry-run, cabal fails to find an installation plan, but perhaps it works better if you actually have GHC 7.4.)
I am attempting to install the llvm-general Cabal package on OS X. When I do, I get the following error:

What it's doing is running /usr/local/bin/llvm-config; this, I believe, is the version of LLVM installed by the OS X developer tools that I installed a while ago. I do have the current version of LLVM, but it's installed with Homebrew as a local (keg-only) installation. Is there any way I can point cabal to that version of LLVM for the purposes of this installation?
I believe that cabal simply looks in your PATH for llvm-config, so just adjust your path accordingly. Otherwise you can try:
modify the file llvm-general.cabal to reference an absolute path for llvm-config (line 52)
temporarily move aside /usr/local/bin/llvm-config and replace it with the llvm-config for the llvm installation you want to use
For reference, I found llvm-config for version 3.4 at /usr/local/Cellar/llvm34/3.4.2/lib/llvm-3.4/bin/llvm-config on my OSX system.
I was trying to install wxHaskell into a machine running Windows XP64, with MinGW/MSYS and wxWidget 3.0 built from source using gcc. I did:
cabal install wx
and got an error:
...
Configuring wxc-0.90.0.4...
setup.exe: wx-config: does not exist
Failed to install wxc-0.90.0.4
cabal.exe: Error: some packages failed to install:

ExitFailure 1

I had successfully used wxWidgets to write an sample application in C++ (gcc). So I do have a working wxWidget installation. And I have wx-config at:
$ which wx-config
/usr/local/bin/wx-config
The problem is that wx-config is a unix shell script, and cabal (called from MSYS) somehow refuses to recognize it even if it's on the system path. If I run wx-config in MSYS, I get something like:
$ wx-config --cxxflags
-I/usr/local/lib/wx/include/msw-unicode-3.0 -I/usr/local/include/wx-3.0 -D_LARGE
FILE_SOURCE=unknown -DWXUSINGDLL -D__WXMSW__ -mthreads
I have asked a question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21998763/how-to-convert-msys-shell-scripts-to-windows-exe-files to see if it's possible to convert the script to an exe, but no one responded with any solutions.
There is also a related question here, wxHaskell installation on windows , and another here wx 0.90.0.1 fails to install on Haskell Platform 2012.2.0.0 (WinXP). In fact, I couldn't found an answer that's confirmed to work. Also, the errors/settings here seem to be different, or the answers therein don't seem solve my problem. In particular, I downloaded an external wx-config.exe from https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxhaskell/files/wx-config-win/ per http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/Windows. But running wx-config.exe can't recognize my wxWidget installation and always gives me an error about cannot find wxWidgets, like this:
$ ./wx-config.exe --prefix=/usr/local/
wx-config Error: wxWidgets hasn't been found installed at 'C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\loc
al'.
Please use the --prefix flag (as in wx-config --prefix=C:\wxWidgets)
or set the environment variable WXWIN (as in WXWIN=C:\wxWidgets)
to specify where is your installation of wxWidgets.
Any idea how to work around this issue?
Thanks,

I've try to install treadScope on my computer for Haskell parallel profiling, I'm using Ubuntu 10 and GHC 6.12. The problem it that I unfortunatlly came out with the following problem. I can't install glade, and the command pkg-config -modversion libglade2.2 return an error, which mean that the glade's .pc file is not found by the system. How can I fix this problem on ubuntu,
Thank you a lot for any answer

Lot of thanks to TomMD,
I've install libglade2-dev and thinks goes well
