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 which lead to Loading package zeromq3-haskell-0.5.1 ... <command line>: can't load .so/.DLL for: libzmq.so (libzmq.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: After locating libzmq.so, I typed cabal install hbro --extra-lib-dirs=/home/user/media/vcs/zeromq-3.2.4/src/.libs/ This unfortunately was greeted with the same error, which makes me question wheter I am invoking cabal with the right parameters/wheter cabal actually looks inside that directory. Cabal version: cabal-install version 0.14.0 using version 1.14.0 of the Cabal library # I use debian/wheezy Am I incorrectly calling cabal or is this a bug? -F [1] http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/beginners/2014-February/013152.html

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.
