[Haskell-beginners] Installation problems

[Jeffrey Brown]

Hi,

In trying to install Tidal, following something that worked for someone
else who was getting an error similar to one I got, I ran ghc-clang-wrapper
<https://gist.github.com/mzero/7245290#file-ghc-clang-wrapper>. I believe
it was after that that cabal install stopped working, and I lost a lot of
libraries that used to exist, such as Sound.MIDI:

    GHCi, version 7.8.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
    Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
    Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done.
    Loading package base ... linking ... done.
    Prelude> import Sound.MIDI

    <no location info>:
        Could not find module ‘Sound.MIDI’
        It is not a module in the current program, or in any known package.
    Prelude>

When I try to reinstall a library that used to exist -- e.g. "hosc", below
-- via cabal install, I now get a giant slew of failures.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Jeff
