[Haskell-cafe] difficulty getting cabal and macports to play nice

Hello, I'm not sure if theres a more specialized list for which this might
be appropriate, but cabal (up to date) on snow leopard can't seem to find
libraries installed by macports even if i show it where they are (which i
have in fact installed the most up to date version of with the macports
+universal variant)
the version info thats relevant is
cabal-install version 0.6.4
using version 1.6.0.3 of the Cabal library


here is an example transcript


sudo cabal install --extra-lib-dirs=/opt/local/lib
--extra-include-dirs=/opt/local/include hieroglyph chart
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: cannot configure Hieroglyph-3.89. It requires cairo -any, glib -any,
gtk >=0.10.0 and gtkglext -any
There is no available version of cairo that satisfies -any
There is no available version of glib that satisfies -any
There is no available version of gtk that satisfies >=0.10.0
There is no available version of gtkglext that satisfies -any

is there something obvious that i'm overlooking or is this a funny unfixed
corner of cabal?
