That's ok. Fire away. I often think that you need to ask a question before
your own brain will admit that it already knows the answer.

Subject: [Haskell-beginners] Cannot install cairo with cabal...

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
flushed as in happy, not like a buffer, with my recent OpenGL and
haskell hacking I attempted to install cairo to try rendering a cairo
generated image into a GL texture but once again, the sometimes
obstreperous cabal is making it hard.
<rant>
I sometimes think that cabal is the "weak" point for newbies like me
accepting Haskell in all its goodness... if you can't cleanly and simply
install libraries then ultimately you will walk away for something less
obstructive...
</rant>
Can anybody tell me that this means and how to solve it ?
Thanks,
Sean.
