[Haskell-beginners] Anyone have problems with cabal and SDL?

[Tom Murphy]

I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.

Sorry, everyone, for just dumping a bunch of terminal output here, but:
When I tried to install SDL-0.6.2 in Cabal, I ultimately end up with the
same error:

"

If you already installed it, check it's in the path. If problem remains,
please send a mail to the address that appears in ./configure --version
indicating your platform, the version of configure script and the problem.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
SDL-0.6.2 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
exit: ExitFailure 1
cm-macbookpro-3:roadmap colinmurphy$
"

The final error is different, but it's still before the claim that SDL-0.6.2
can't be found.

Thanks for any help!
