Unable to build yesod app: ``strip.exe: unable to rename`` - haskell

I'm trying to build an application using Yesod on Windows. I installed the haskell platform, and then Yesod using cabal. The command yesod init works, but after installing the dependencies cabal exits with the following message:
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring yosog-0.0.0...

yosog-0.0.0 failed during the final install step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
Do you have any idea about what can be causing this error?
The version of the haskel platform I have installed ships with ghc 4.8.3, and cabal-install version 1.18.1.3 of the Cabal library.

Issue installing Snap on macOS Sierra

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.

cabal install hsparql error

Im trying to install hsparql, cabal version 1.22.1.1
cabal install hsparql
gives
Could not find module `Network.URI'
It is a member of the hidden package `network-uri-2.6.0.1'.
Perhaps you need to add `network-uri' to the build-depends in your .cabal file.
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
Failed to install hsparql-0.2.5
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
hsparql-0.2.5 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
but
cabal install network-uri
shows
All the requested packages are already installed:
network-uri-2.6.0.1
what could be the problem?

(Haskell) Installing hsc3 in KXStudio (Ubuntu)

I'm trying to install hsc3 following this tutorial:
http://rd.slavepianos.org/?t=hsc3-texts&e=lhs/hsc3-tutorial.lhs
But I get this error:
Sound/SC3/UGen/Type.hs:482:5:
bitSizeMaybe' is not a (visible) method of classBits'
Failed to install hsc3-0.16
cabal:
Error: some packages failed to install:
hsc3-0.16 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
Tried both the "cabal install hsc3" method and downloading from the darcs repository.
GHC --version is 7.6.3
I'm probably missing something trivial.

Can't install sdl2 via cabal

I am trying to install helm. When I try to install it, however I get this error:
$ cabal install helm
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring sdl2-1.1.0...
cabal: The pkg-config package 'sdl2' version >=2.0.3 is required but it could
not be found.
Failed to install sdl2-1.1.0
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
helm-0.6.1 depends on sdl2-1.1.0 which failed to install.
sdl2-1.1.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
When I go to install sdl2 by itself, I get a similar message.
$ cabal install sdl2
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring sdl2-1.1.0...
cabal: The pkg-config package 'sdl2' version >=2.0.3 is required but it could
not be found.
Failed to install sdl2-1.1.0
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
sdl2-1.1.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
I don't understand. According to Hackage, sdl2 is at version 1.1, but installing it requires version 2.0.3? I've tried this in and out of a sandbox. Results of ghc-pkg list are here if you think they're relevant: http://pastebin.com/tFrsfPFe
I'm on Ubuntu btw.
Help?
Another thing which could happen (happened to me) for other installs is that the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable might not point to the package config file (sdl2.pc, for me in the /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig directory). pkg-config uses some default directories ('/usr/lib/pkgconfig' and '/usr/share/pkgconfig'), but if the sdl.pc file isn't in one of these, you'll have to specify the directory in the environment variable. You can check this with echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
If it turns out you need to set the variable, just use export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig (or to whatever directory your sdl2.pc file lives in)
I ran into the same problem, and I just want to add my solution here for the record. The native sdl2 libraries need to be installed first by following the directions here: https://github.com/haskell-game/sdl2#building

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?
