I am running linux mint 17 with the latest (as of Feb. 28) haskell platform and cabal-install.
I did install gtk2hs-buildtools and put the .cabal/bin in my path.

Do you have the devel libraries needed by gtk installed? cabal cannot install them for you, and the runtime libraries are not sufficient. You'll want libcairo2-dev for this, and others for other gtk components (notably libgtk-3-dev but there will be others as well).
