I suspect this is either a problem with ghc or cabal-install:

As you can see, cabal-install or ghc, whichever is causing the problem, seems to be inducing undesirable laconism now. According to my cabal config, I am running at a default verbosity level of 1. Is there some configuration option that could have caused this particular behavior? In other words, how can I restore the original behavior? Version 1.18.0.2
Thanks to #Michael Snoyman for pointing out that configuring a jobs parameter or explicitly passing it as a -j flag will redirect much of the information that pertains to build output to a text file. More information is available here.

How can Haskell be compiled to Javascript using GHCJS and Haskell Stack?
I have the current version of Haksell Stack 1.5.1.
I can initialize a GHCJS project with this command: stack new ghcjsSetup ghcjs
Once in the project directory I try following the Stack documentation for GHCJS.
I create a stack.yaml file and edit it to match the example from the documentation so that is looks like this.
resolver: lts-7.19
compiler: ghcjs-0.2.1.9007019_ghc-8.0.1
compiler-check: match-exact
setup-info:
ghcjs:
source:
ghcjs-0.2.1.9007019_ghc-8.0.1:

sha1: d2cfc25f9cda32a25a87d9af68891b2186ee52f9
Following the documentation further I try to install and boot GHCJS with this command:
stack setup
This command produces an output which ends with an error.

This will not interfere with any system-level installation.

You are missing the libtinfo library which is part of ncurses. Depending on your environment try something like:
sudo apt-get install libtinfo-dev
As an aside, getting all the pieces that ghcjs needs to build successfully is tricky and not well documented as of September 2018. One might hope that as the project matures it will get easier to install, and that a binary package will be produced. Know that you are not the only person who has these issues. It takes some patience and trial-and-error to get ghcjs working right now.
Others have had success using nix, I did not.
I'm trying to work on Haskell in IntelliJ IDEA on Windows 8.
I installed the latest Haskell plugin, and found that it requires ghc.exe, cabal.exe and ghc-mod.exe prepared. Haskell Platform (x64) originally contains ghc.exe and cabal.exe, so what I need in order to make the plugin work is ghc-mod.exe.
Just as many guides say, I tried installing it through cabal like this:
cabal install ghc-mod
It failed installing haskell-src-exts in the middle of the process, so I installed happy and tried the same command again. Then it succeeded to install src-exts, yet not ghc-mod. Cabal produced this error log:

This doesn't make sense to me at all. What can I do?
I'm trying to install a package to the Haskell Platform in Cygwin. It requires the websockets package, for which the most recent version is 0.9.0.1.

cabal install websockets

I have a default install of Cygwin x64 and Haskell Platform x64 on Windows 7 Pro x64. Is there a workaround to this? Or am I missing some configuration?
I have the same cabal update issue mentioned at http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/beginners/2010-June/004357.html, where my updated cabal version is not being used (I keep getting notified about a newer version), but the install command keeps saying the new version installed fine. I'm not sure if that has something to do with this...
I did not find an actual answer for why the most current version of websockets won't build, but what fixed my issue is installing an older version of websockets.
cabal install websockets-0.8.6.2
is there a GUI package that is still up-to-date?
I tried installing both wxHaskell and gtk2hs today and both fail on dependencies I just cannot solve (wxHaskell cannot find some wxWidget libs and while trying the glade tutorial gtk2hs fails on a missing pkg-config libglade2-0 I installed too).
I guess it's just some problem with me not understanding the linux/cabal/package install things good enough but is there a up-to-date tutorial how to get started (install) some GUI lib for Haskell somewhere around?
Here are the errors:

Are you sure you have libglade2-dev installed ? That should fix it.
Coming from ArchLinux i had the same problem at first when i didn't know there were separate dev libraries, i don't remember having to do this in arch.

This problem occurs on both my Mac and in my Fedora VM. Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks!
You need to add the path in which the Gtk2Hs build tools are stored to your $PATH environment variable, so that the build process can find them. On Linux, it's $HOME/.cabal/bin. On OS X, it's $HOME/Library/Haskell/bin (although that might just be if you're using the Haskell Platform — if that doesn't work, try $HOME/.cabal/bin).
To add a directory to your $PATH, run export PATH=directory:$PATH. You should probably add this to your shell's startup file (it depends on your shell and OS — probably either ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile). (You'll need to do so if you want to run any programs you install with cabal directly, anyway.)
