Hello list,

recently I am having trouble installing a package (hbro, more info here [1]). Today I decided to remove every 0mq installed (even system ones) and run another installation to see what went wrong. So I downloaded zmq3, reinstalled it, tried to run

cabal install hnro

Since zeromq seems to have a pkg-config file

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/zeromq/files/

I'd strongly suggest the package maintainer of zeromq3-haskell to use the PkgConfig-depends field of Cabal instead of the custom extralibs.

Thanks for your suggestion. I have pushed new versions to hackage which use pkgconfig-depends.
