----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 I just installed GHC 6.12.3 (it's not an option on the drop-down GHC
 version menu, which is why I said 6.12.2 there) and Haskell Platform on
 Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8) from source, and tried to install glib.  I got:
 {{{
 $ cabal install glib

 Configuring glib-0.11.0...
 setup: gtk2hsC2hs is required but it could not be found.
 cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
 glib-0.11.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
 ExitFailure 1
 }}}
 Running
 {{{
 $ cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools
 ...
 $ cabal install glib
 ...
 }}}
 works fine, so I think that it is just a missing dependency.
