As far as I'm aware, the Haskell Platform doesn't come with any 
graphics-related packages, except low-level bindings to either X11 or 
Win32 (depending on which platform you're running on, obviously.) Cairo 
is part of the Gtk2hs collection of packages (i.e., the ones that aren't 
building right).

The fix that makes Gtk2hs build isn't difficult, it's just tedious and 
error-prone.
