I learned a little bit Haskell with Hugs on Windows and now I want to
develop on Linux.
I installed the Haskell Platform on Unbunto 10.10. There were no problems.
Then I tried to install Leksah with
sudo cabal install leksah --global
It failed with:

leksah-0.8.0.8 depends on gtksourceview2-0.11.1 which failed to install.
I searched the Internet on "gtksourceview2 maybePeekUTFString" and found
a patch:
http://www.mail-archive.com/gtk2hs-de...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00971/gtk_0_11_2-needs-glib--__-0_11_2-for-maybepeekutfstring.dpatch
As a newby with the Haskell tools, I searched the Internet on how to
install a patch.
I found dpm and I tried to install it with:
sudo cabal install dpm --global
It failed with:
configure: error: in `/tmp/terminfo-0.3.1.31936/terminfo-0.3.1.3':
configure: error: curses headers could not be found, so this package
cannot be built
See `config.log' for more details.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
DPM-0.2.1 depends on terminfo-0.3.1.3 which failed to install.
darcs-2.5 depends on terminfo-0.3.1.3 which failed to install.
haskeline-0.6.3.2 depends on terminfo-0.3.1.3 which failed to install.
terminfo-0.3.1.3 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
So after installing Haskell Platform, I only found broken packages!
What can I do to install Leksah?
