Those names are the names of the Haskell components/packages. All of
them (except soegtk) are wrappers for C libraries with similar names. So
you need to install the system packages that contain the development
files for those C libraries. For example the system package for glib
might be called something like "glib-dev" or "glib-devel". On some
systems they also have more numbers in like "glib2-devel" or be prefixed
with "lib", like "libglib-dev".

You almost certainly have the runtime files for all these packages
installed already, so it's only the "dev"/"devel" variants that you need
to install.
