Ports is build-from-source, so every package is what Linux calls a -dev package. The OP might need to make sure that cabal knows to look in /usr/local for libraries. -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms

I see. If net-snmp supports pkg-config then all such problems should be solvable by using the pkg-config support of Cabal. So you might run $ pkg-config --list-all on your machine, see whether net-smnp is listed, and if yes, encourage the author of NetSNMP bindings to use the PkgConfig field in his Cabal package description.
