[Haskell-beginners] trying to install libraries for Haskell School of Expression

[DJ]

Brandon: Thanks. I did have to install some gtk libraries. I am also 
working in a sandbox now. This moved things ahead somewhat. But I am 
getting this now from 'cabal install soegtk':

Graphics/SOE/Gtk.hs:94:18:
     Could not find module `System.Time'
     It is a member of the hidden package `old-time-1.1.0.1'.
     Perhaps you need to add `old-time' to the build-depends in your 
.cabal file.
     Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
Failed to install soegtk-0.9.12.2

I have forgotten anything I once knew about using cabal. I apologize for 
not learning how to deal with the above on my own, but I am hoping to 
get over this hump as quickly and painlessly as possible so I don't lose 
my momentum getting back to Haskell.

So, can anyone give me a hint how to fix the above?

Best,

- DJ -
