Problem solved. I reinstalled Mac OS 10.9, retaining no programs or
settings, just ordinary user-land files. Now everything works beautifully :)

Hi,
In trying to install Tidal, following something that worked for someone else who was getting an error similar to one I got, I ran ghc-clang-wrapper https://gist.github.com/mzero/7245290#file-ghc-clang-wrapper. I believe it was after that that cabal install stopped working, and I lost a lot of libraries that used to exist, such as Sound.MIDI:
GHCi, version 7.8.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done. Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done. Loading package base ... linking ... done. Prelude> import Sound.MIDI
<no location info>: Could not find module ‘Sound.MIDI’ It is not a module in the current program, or in any known package. Prelude>
When I try to reinstall a library that used to exist -- e.g. "hosc", below -- via cabal install, I now get a giant slew of failures.
Any ideas?
Many thanks, Jeff
