this failed though because among other things glib would not install. from the error messages gtk2hs-buildtools was advised to be installed. So I installed that. Then I attempted to use $ cabal install yi -f-vty -fpango again but still glib fails.
glib cannot be installed because of below error. Any further ideas?

C:\Documents and Settings\renshaw>cabal install pkg-config cabal: There is no package named 'pkg-config'. You may need to run 'cabal update' to get the latest list of available packages.
pkg-config is not a Haskell thing, it's a C (I think) tool. Unixoids usually come equipped with pkg-config, on Windows you have to install it otherwise (google pkg-config for Windows, that should turn up something installable).
