[Haskell-beginners] Haskell Platform: Troubleshooting package configuration errors?

[egarrulo]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to build the Haskell Platform 2013.2.0.0 (with required GHC 
7.6.3) on Debian GNU/Linux 6 (AKA Debian Squeeze).

So far, I've stumbled upon some a few errors, but I've managed to solve 
them and I have let the maintainers know. Now I'm stuck with an error 
while configuring the "network" package (see the end of this email). As 
such error has no accompanying diagnostics, I don't know how I could fix 
it. Any suggestions? Thanks for your attention.

Have a nice day.
