Comment (by mboes):

 @Phyx- I'm not sure actually. How do I tell reliably? FWIW, the following
 command using the above provided example fails too:

 {{{

 $ cabal install --enable-shared

 }}}

 Is there a way to control whether Template Haskell looks for static or for
 dynamic foreign libraries? Does the --enable-shared flag have any effect
 on that?
