What's going on there?
The message
setup: The pkg-config package webkitgtk-3.0 version >=1.8 is required but it could not be found.
refers to the OS package, that the Haskell package depends on. You need to install (the development version of) webkitgtk-3.0 using the OS package manager. On my system (Ubuntu) this is done like this:
sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev
