The command cabal install-able wouldn't work for me no package found.

so I installed gtk and yi-gtk.

I tried to then use.
$ cabal install yi -f-vty -fpango

this failed though because among other things glib would not install. from
the error messages gtk2hs-buildtools was advised to be installed. So I
installed that.
Then I attempted to use $ cabal install yi -f-vty -fpango again but still
glib fails.

glib cannot be installed because of below error. Any further ideas?

\setup.exe ...
Configuring glib-0.12.0...
setup.exe: The program pkg-config version >=0.9.0 is required but it could
not
be found.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
glib-0.12.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

C:\Documents and Settings\renshaw>cabal install pkg-config
cabal: There is no package named 'pkg-config'.
You may need to run 'cabal update' to get the latest list of available
packages.
