Thanks Andy.

I removed ghc 6.10.1 then did a yum groupinstall haskell.

I then tried again. This time the configure failed because it couldn't
find haddock. I had to manually add a link from haddock to haddock-0.9
in /usr/bin. Clearly a problem with the rpm packaging for Fedora.

Now make fails with:

svgcairo/Graphics/Rendering/Cairo/SVG.chs:201:2:
    Couldn't match expected type `()' against inferred type `CInt'
      Expected type: Render ()
      Inferred type: Render CInt
    In the expression:
          liftIO
        $ (\ (SVG arg1) (Cairo arg2)
               -> withForeignPtr arg1
                $ \ argPtr1 -> rsvg_handle_render_cairo argPtr1 arg2)
            svg cr
    In the expression:
        do cr <- ask
             liftIO
           $ (\ (SVG arg1) (Cairo arg2)
                  -> withForeignPtr arg1
                   $ \ argPtr1 -> rsvg_handle_render_cairo argPtr1 arg2)
               svg cr
