[Haskell-beginners] Problems with installing lambdabot

[Antoras]

Ok, after changing this the linker error is gone. But now I get a 
compile error close to the place the linker error previously occurred:


[28 of 79] Compiling Plugin.Activity  ( Plugin/Activity.hs, 
dist/build/lambdabot/lambdabot-tmp/Plugin/Activity.o )
[...]
Loading package IOSpec-0.2.5 ... linking ... done.

Plugin/Activity.hs:18:10:
     Illegal instance declaration for `Module
                                         ActivityModule ActivityState'
       (All instance types must be of the form (T a1 ... an)
        where a1 ... an are *distinct type variables*,
        and each type variable appears at most once in the instance head.
        Use -XFlexibleInstances if you want to disable this.)
     In the instance declaration for `Module ActivityModule ActivityState'
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
lambdabot-4.2.3.2 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
