That means you don't have the C library installed, or at least that cabal can't find it. You have to install it otherwise or put it in a directory in your %PATH%. I'm not familiar with Windows, so I can't tell you how to do that. You could search on the haskellwiki, perhaps there are instructions there.
I then went to the link you provided: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/HDBC-sqlite3 I extracted the tar file, HDBC-sqlite3-2.3.1.0.tar, and tried to un-tar it but get the following message: "Error reading header after processing 0 entries"
If cabal complains about a missing foreign dependency, trying a manual install won't help, runhaskell ./Setup configure won't look anywhere cabal doesn't.
