I am pretty new ubuntu so I still dont know what to do in a situation like this. i really hope someone can help because it is for a school project which is do soon.
After spending hours on installing/removing, the best way to install and configure latest cabal, ghc...
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://get-ghcup.haskell.org | sh
This error occurs when you have a very old cabal binary compared to your version of ghc.
You could jump through the package manager routes, or you could use the linux binary download from https://www.haskell.org/cabal/download.html
That should suffice to get you off the ground...

The exception was:

snap-1.0.0.2-5CZKyA9EY4oLgkpHYCVfnv depends on snap-1.0.0.2 which failed to
install.
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.
I first tried to install Hlint. cabal install hlint but then I got the error:
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
cpphs-1.20.2 depends on old-time-1.1.0.3 which failed to install.
haskell-src-exts-1.18.2 depends on old-time-1.1.0.3 which failed to install.
hlint-1.9.37 depends on old-time-1.1.0.3 which failed to install.
old-time-1.1.0.3 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 77
Then I tried to install ghc-mod since I read that hlint is a dependency of that package(?). Thinking that it might resolve the problem. So i did cabal install ghc-mod which gave me the error.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
cpphs-1.20.2 depends on old-time-1.1.0.3 which failed to install.
ghc-mod-5.6.0.0 depends on old-time-1.1.0.3 which failed to install.
haskell-src-exts-1.17.1 depends on old-time-1.1.0.3 which failed to install.
hlint-1.9.35 depends on old-time-1.1.0.3 which failed to install.
old-time-1.1.0.3 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 77
So it seems to be the same problem, around my the package old-time-1.1.0.3.
The best way to know where it fails is to go through each failed package and install them one after the other.
I had issue with haskell-src-exts in which showed up in hlint and when I tried to cabal install haskell-src-exts it was happythat wasn't properly installed.
There are lots of variables that could be at play to explain what's going on, including cabal-install and ghc versions. It would be useful if you included the cabal --version and ghc --version output in your question.
That said: I'd recommend trying out the installation using Stack. Once you have Stack installed (on POSIX systems, usually sufficient to run curl -sSL https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh), you can install with stack --resolver lts-6.16 --install-ghc --no-system-ghc install hlint.
Are you on Windows or Linux? What does ghc --version say? What about ghc-pkg old-time? I recommend trying to run cabal install old-time directly, which should reproduce the error directly.
Solution by OP.
Modify your cabal config file (you can verify the location by running "cabal user-config init") to contain the following lines:
extra-prog-path: C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.0.1\msys\usr\bin
extra-lib-dirs: C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.0.1\mingw\lib
extra-include-dirs: C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.0.1\mingw\include
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

(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

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 -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.
