This is with ImplicitCAD as installed by way of
{{{
git clone https://github.com/colah/ImplicitCAD.git
cd ImplicitCad
cabal install
}}}
All other packages work. Only ImplicitCAD is broken.

I know that this kind of bug report isn't very useful, as it's usually
system specific :( . But you need to be aware that there are kinks.
Proposed fix:
When ld returns 1, post an error message with suggestions as to how to fix
the error. So far, I've received link errors in two cases. Once,
deleting the .o file fixed it. This time, I have yet to figure out a work
around. Once I do, I will post the work around to this bug report.
