Aha. Is there something like a ghc-ghc package available on Fedora?
Perhaps you need a ghc-ghc-dev as well, I don't know. I'm somewhat
surprised that these aren't installed by default: strictly speaking,
the HP contains GHC itself, and installing the HP should install GHC
with all the core libraries.
Cabal is confused here because "ghc" is a package internal to GHC
which isn't available on Hackage, so if it's not installed together
with GHC, then Cabal has absolutely no info about it. Nevertheless, it
should quit with a meaningful message.
Cheers,
Andres

This sounds nice but I don't know of any such thing. It shouldn't be
too bad to parse a literate Haskell file with haskell-src-exts,
process some of the literate comments, and then write it back out.
Unfortunately I do not know of a nice way to capture ghci output. You
can find an extremely hacky solution in BlogLiterately, much of which
was copied from the lhs2TeX source:

Many of us use an emacs workflow (ghci inside an emacs shell) so output
automatically gets captured in a buffer.

bingo...
i had to install the "ghc-ghc" and "ghc-ghc-devel" packages (at first I
installed only "ghc-ghc" and that wasn't enough". Now it's building and I'm
pretty sure it will go through.
Thank God for this mailing list, I could never find this out on my own.
Thank you!

It looks like the bytestring-class package has not been updated in a
long time (since 2009) and does not compile under the latest versions
of GHC.
