Comment (by thomie):

 Yes, what rwbarton says. I can reproduce the problem with a statically
 linked `ihaskell`, but `--enable-executable-dynamic` solves it:

 {{{

 $ cabal install -w ghc-7.10.3 ihaskell --enable-executable-dynamic
 $ jupyter console --kernel haskell
 Jupyter Console 4.1.1


 In [1]:
 }}}


 You need to build all dependencies with `--enabled-shared` as well (set
 `shared: True` in `.cabal/config`).

 Other things I had to install:
 {{{
 $ sudo apt-get install libzmq3-dev
 $ pip install jupyter
 }}}
