When I try to install the "encoding" library, I get this failure, but I can't find any documentation to tell me what it means:
$ sudo cabal install encoding --global

This still doesn't seem to tell me what C library dependency could be missing.
This typically means that C libraries were missing, that were required by the package (or one of its dependencies).
Turning on verbose logging should help.

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:

but

I'm having trouble running haste-boot --force --local (though the same thing also happens when booting the latest cabal version with plain haste-boot). It makes some progress, then fails out with

I've since manually installed bytestring-0.10.4.1 with cabal install so that:

In order, the following will be installed:

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:

Based on that error message, it looks like installing the appropriate bytestring version with haste-inst requires that I run haste-boot first, but haste-boot is failing because of an error related to installing bytestring.
Any ideas on what I can do here?
EDIT:
The relevant snippet seems to happen much earlier than the actual error in installation:

This has been a known bug for some time1, and seems to be fixed six days ago, so update your cabal2:
> cabal update
> cabal install cabal cabal-install
> cabal install ghc-mod
However, if you don't want to jump on the cabal-git-train, you can still unpack, configure and install packages by hand. This will prevent the behaviour, since it is triggered by moving temporary dictionaries and name clashes:
> cabal unpack haskell-src-exts
> cd haskell-src-exts*
> cabal configure
> cabal build
> cabal install
1: since the bug has been reported on 22nd Feb, it seems to affect all versions from >= 1.18.* to < 1.20.0.3.
2: make sure that you really run the new version.

I have also tried installing the windows fork of hdevltools by running
> cabal install
on the cloned github repo. However this also produces errors.
As a last ditch effort, I tried changing the remote repo to "stackage", i.e.
remote-repo: stackage: http://www.stackage.org/stackage/44ea140bd97cbb0f6140d331f8f7f8667a637eda
but this did not help either.
All help is appreciated!
It looks like this is a Windows specific issue, where cabal cannot move some required files in the haskell-src-exts distribution (the issue is also seen in other packages, such as pandoc). This might be related to the issue reported here: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/1698
I was able to get the haskell-src-exts package installed by doing the following:
> cabal unpack haskell-src-exts
> cd haskell-src-exts
> cabal install
Your problem is listed right in Cabal's error message:
MoveFileEx ... ...:
permission denied (Access is denied.)
So it seems you have a permission problem with your Windows installation (or at least your user temp folder), which is why Cabal stumbles.
Deciding to learn Haskell, installed ghc on OS X via Homebrew (web binaries weren't downloading at the time).
All great, following along with Learn You a Haskell, but then decided to install some packages and see how things run.

Loving the language so far, NOT the package management :(
Cabal sandboxes are frequently recommended for development but work well for trying out some package quickly. If anything goes wrong they are easily disposable and don't affect any other packages you have already installed. Here is what I would do to try out clckwrks-cli (BTW, if you want to just try out any package you might to choose another package with less dependencies).
$ cd /path/to/sandboxes
$ cabal get clckwrks-cli
$ cd clckwrks-cli-<version>
$ cabal sandbox init
$ cabal install --only-dependencies -j<N> # N is the number of CPU cores
At this point you can type cabal run to run the executable installed by the package (which it'll probably be at ./dist/build/bin/), cabal test for running tests, or cabal repl in order to run a ghci session with the sandboxes packages available.
If anything goes wrong you can revert back the sandbox by typing cabal sandbox delete and cabal clean. When you are done you can safely remove the sandbox without affecting other packages.
Here is what worked for me in the past
For a package $f, do
ghc-pkg.exe unregister --global --force $f
ghc-pkg.exe recache
According to its documentation, ghc-pkg.exe unregister "unregisters a package" and recache "regenerate the package database cache". --global needs to be used if the package in question was installed in system directories.
In case the database is severely damaged, I would delete the user or system cabal directory and reinstall packages that I had. I usually do this by cabal install one or several of the application libraries that I use, and let cabal reinstall the dependencies. Note: the cabal directory depends on the OS and version of GHC.
ghc-pkg unregister --force clckwrks-cli
I was having trouble with unordered-containers-0.2.5.1 and deleting the file:
~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/unordered-containers/0.2.5.1/unordered-containers-0.2.5.1.tar.gz
fixed the problem for me. (i.e. the error cabal: data is not in tar format)
