Hi Xavier,
I'm the author of both yaml and data-object-yaml. I recommend you
stick with data-object-yaml: yaml is much more low level. I recently
wrote a blog post about data-object-yaml which you will probably find
useful: http://docs.yesodweb.com/blog/data-object-yaml/ .
As for your installation problem: cabal installs libraries by default
in the user folder, whereas Setup.hs checks the global folder by
default. I recommend just using "cabal configure" and skipping the
Setup.hs file.
Good luck!

Hello,
I want to use YAML in my app
I have run: cabal install yaml
I have added it to my build-depends line in my .cabal file: Build-Depends: base,time,yaml
$ runhaskell Setup.lhs configure Configuring xtdo-0.1... Setup.lhs: At least the following dependencies are missing: yaml -any
Oh no! I tried just importing Text.Libyaml in both my app and GHCi but neither error gave any clues. I also found references to HsSyck, data-object-yaml and YAML::Tiny libraries, but not sure what I should be using.
Right now I'm feeling totally lost, not being able to find examples of code using yaml, nor documentation for how I would use the libraries to play around with it. Also not comfortable I understand the interaction between cabal, runhaskell, ghc, and my build file.
Any pointers? References to documentation I should have read also appreciated.
Cheers, Xavier
(I don't know how relevant it is, but here is my minimal project I am trying to add it to: https://github.com/xaviershay/xtdo-hs)
