Comment (by irneb):

 Sorry, it seems I did omit a bit. I'm only starting with Haskell as my
 next language to learn. So first step: install the needed tools. Did a bit
 of searching and got various answers ranging from compiling from source to
 installing from the repo.

 Anyhoo ... the source idea made for lots of extra manual downloads because
 these dependencies simply are not available by default. Gave up on that
 since it simply didn't want to work after about 2 days of trying. Then
 installed from the repo after adding the universe site to the aps list.
 Seemed to install properly, but the interactive REPL gives this error
 message.

 Then I searched through this forum for the error in question. Found a few
 threads which stated that installing LibFFI5 solved it and then they were
 closed. No further info or comments. Then I tried installing this, found
 that it's not available in the repo, did a search and found that libffi6
 superseded libffi5 since Ubuntu 10 (I'm now on 13.10). So installed the
 new libffi6 and tried again ... no dice, same error.
