Comment(by dmwit):
I didn't see the haskeline error, but the other error ("Unacceptable
argument type ...") is quite familiar to me. The fix for most packages is
pretty mechanical: open up the offending file, grep for "import
Foreign.C.Types" and add "(..)" to any type it imports, e.g. the diff
would look like:
{{{
-import Foreign.C.Types ( CInt, CSize )
+import Foreign.C.Types ( CInt(..), CSize(..) )
}}}
If you like, I will happily host corrected tarballs of versions of any
package that doesn't build. I don't recall exactly which packages I had to
fix, but I do remember fixing at least zlib and tar; see
<http://dmwit.com/zlib-0.5.3.1.tar.gz> and
<http://dmwit.com/tar-0.3.1.0.tar.gz> for corrected versions.
