Cabal repl won't run, "can't load .so/.DLL for: ..." - haskell

I am trying to get a project running that uses conduit and conduit-extra. This is the main module:
import Data.Conduit
main = do
putStrLn "Done"
The cabal file requires base, conduit and conduit-extra:
...
build-depends: base >=4.8 && <4.9,
conduit >=1.2.5 && <1.3,
conduit-extra >= 1.1.9.1 && <1.2
...
Yet when I run cabal repl, this happens:
Johns-iMac:The-Project john$ cabal repl
Preprocessing executable 'The-Project' for The-Project-0.1.0.0...

Reason: image not found)
I just completely reinstalled the Haskell Platform, and it's all sandboxed, so there shouldn't be any problems with competing dependencies.
What is happening, and how do I fix it?
UPDATE:
I deleted the sandbox (cabal.sandbox.config, .cabal-sandbox), and reinstalled the dependencies:
cabal sandbox init
cabal install --only-dependencies
cabal repl
We now have a new but very similar error:

Reason: image not found)

Given that this report refers to a problem loading hashable, and the Github report refers to a problem loading exceptions, both of which are packages provided by the platform and not GHC, I have a feeling there's a problem with the platform installer. Can you try again with either GHC for Mac OS X or stack and see if it resolves the issue?
Note that, if you go the stack route, you'll want to run stack init && stack build --install-ghc && stack ghci in your project. In either case: you'll probably be safer if you completely remove the platform install first.

Haskell timeit Module - SystemTimeIT not found

This must be very simple; but why this error:
PS C:\Users\guthrie\Desktop> cabal install --lib timeit

PS C:\Users\guthrie\Desktop> ghci

Leaving GHCi.
Hackage shows System.TimeIt as being defined in timeit-2.0, which is what cabal installed.

Dependencies: base >=3 && <5, transformers >=0.2 && <0.6
Cached: Yes
Modules:
System.TimeIt
So it reports: "Not installed".
Same problem with criterion (Criterion.Main).
I see a note from 2/2020; that if a package is installed without the --lib option,
It does add the library to the package db in this case but does not
add it to the default environment.
(*https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6262#issuecomment-589843722)
So I repeated the install with this option, no effect - just reported "Up to date".
That same link gave a solution (work-around?) to use instead cabal v1-install, which does work. But what would be the recommended simple solution to be able just to use ghci for testing small codes? Forced migration to stack, with local sandboxed and copies of everything for every small test?
Since I am only doing very simple short tests of examples, I was not creating a sandbox for each, and do not have a .cabal file, are those now necessary?!
(cabal 3.2.0.o, ghc 8.10.2, Windows 10)
I strongly recommend that you don't try to use ghc and ghci directly but instead use cabal. If you want to quickly play around with timeit in the REPL then use
cabal v2-repl --build-depends timeit
If you want to do anything more complicated then create a (perhaps temporary) project and add timeit as a dependency:
$ mkdir my-temporary-package
$ cd my-temporary-package
$ cabal init
Edit my-temporary-package.cabal to change
build-depends: base >=... && <...
to
build-depends: base, timeit
(The constraints on base are going to cause you more harm than good for a quick exploratory project. You can add them back later if it becomes necessary.) Then
$ cabal v2-repl
will get you a REPL with timeit available.

haskell stack exception missing dependencies

I want to add the bound library to my package dependencies;
The project is completely fresh initialized with stack new.
The entry in the cabal file looks like this:
executable DependendLambda-exe
hs-source-dirs: app
main-is: Main.hs
ghc-options: -threaded -rtsopts -with-rtsopts=-N
build-depends: base
, DependendLambda
, bound
default-language: Haskell2010
I get the following error message:
While constructing the build plan, the following exceptions were encountered:
In the dependencies for DependendLambda-0.1.0.0:
bound must match -any, but the stack configuration has no specified
version (latest applicable is 1.0.7)
Recommended action:
try adding the following to your extra-deps in /home/MyProject/stack.yaml:
- bound-1.0.7
You may also want to try the 'stack solver' command
Plan construction failed.

When I add the dependency to extra-deps it is still failing:

The stack solver command didn't help either ... what am I missing?

Load a new package in ghci using stack

Is there a way to load a package(s) using Stack in GHCI and play around with it ?
So, that when the ghci is loaded, we can import the modules and see it's type signature, etc.
For the packages present in Stackage,
$ stack ghci --package unix-time
And this will give you a repl with the package unix-time loaded in it:

Haskell package installed but not found (Ubuntu) [duplicate]

I installed diagrams, and it seems to be there, but GHCi doesn’t find it. I tried adding the local sandbox to the command line (-package-db), but still no luck.
Any suggestions?

As bheklilr said, if ghci is started with cabal repl, it will only find packages specified as a dependency in the .cabal file.
However you can start it with cabal exec ghci, then it will find all packages installed in the sandbox.
The same is true for invoking ghc (cabal build vs. cabal exec ghc), but note that if you want to pass flags you have to use --, like in cabal exec ghc -- -O2 Main.hs. Alternatively you can use cabal exec bash and launch ghci or ghc in the new shell.
cabal exec was added with Cabal 1.20.
