 I tried to install svg-builder by "cabal install svg-builder"and got the
 following error:

 ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 7.8.4 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
         Simplifier ticks exhausted
     When trying UnfoldingDone base:Foreign.Storable.$fStorableWord21{v
 r2cT} [gid]
     To increase the limit, use -fsimpl-tick-factor=N (default 100)
     If you need to do this, let GHC HQ know, and what factor you needed
     To see detailed counts use -ddump-simpl-stats
     Total ticks: 34200


 I tried again with ghc -fsimpl-tick-factor=300 and it worked.
