I'm currently trying to install the gsl packages (in particular hmatrix-gsl) for a Windows 7/32 system. I've been using a fairly stripped down version of the GHC for a while, but now that I'm trying to install packages like this, I'm running into problems. Anyway, I have installed pkg-config, etc. and I believe I've got the various bits of gsl installed. However cabal is still failing at attaching this to the appropriate haskell modules, at what looks to be very near the end, and suggstions for what I can try to get things to finish would be welcome. Below is the output as generated by cabal (this is the result of several iterations and systematic googling, but google seems to have run out on me). All suggestions, advice, etc. very welcome, Sean Matthews
