I still haven't managed to resolve this. Any thoughts on the errors below?
No idea why binary-shared failed to build. For more info, try to cabal- install it with a higher verbosity level, $ cabal install binary-shared -v2 (perhaps even -v3). The other errors may be cascading from failing to build any gtk2hs package. To install gtk2hs packages, you have to first $ cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools (that package contains only executables, no library, hence can't be a build-depend in the cabal file, alas). If you already have the buildtools somewhere in your path, $ which gtk2hsC2hs would be a quick test, something else has gone awry. Then try to manually install one of the gtk2hs packages, iirc, cairo doesn't depend on any other, so $ cabal install cairo -v2 Hopefully the messages printed to stderr would allow to find out what broke.
I don't understand why packages should be on hackage in the first place if their dependencies are not available from there either. I
Are there packages on hackage with Haskell dependencies not available on hackage? That would be bad. (If C dependencies are not available from hackage, that's inconvenient, but natural.)
feel like you should have to explicitly opt-in to get any package that has non-hackage or unreleased dependencies.
Agreed.

Thanks. That got me a bit further, but there are a lot more errors now!
