[Haskell-beginners] Trouble in installing Packages

Sun Sep 5 10:05:27 EDT 2010

Dear All,
I am quite new to Haskell and have only very recently found out about cabal.
I am interested in some haskell packages for scientific applications, 
but I am experiencing some problems in installing them on my machine 
(ubuntu 10.04, amd64 architecture).
For instance, I pasted below the output of my attempts to install 
hmatrix-static.
Any idea about how to fix this?
Cheers

Lorenzo

$ cabal install hmatrix-static
