Re: [Haskell-beginners] Cannot install cairo with cabal...

So it seems that it can't infer your cabal's minor version, so it drops into the else. Do you get any different result when you call `cabal install --ghc-option=DCABAL_VERSION_MINOR=10 cairo`? Resolving dependencies... target `DCABAL_VERSION_MINOR=10' is not a module name or a source file cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: cairo-0.12.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was: ExitFailure 1

:) I also tried moving the furniture around ... cabal --ghc-option=DCABAL_VERSION_MINOR=10 install cairo and cabal install --ghc-option=DCABAL_VERSION_MINOR=10 cairo just in case but to no avail, same message in all cases....
