[Haskell-cafe] apt-get install haskell-platform fails on ubuntu 14.04

[David Gladstein]

Firstly, thanks to all who helped.

apt-get install -f doesn't help. I solved the problem using the answer in
this link:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/588695/cant-install-libglew-dev-because-libcheese-and-libclutter-dont-have-the-requir


which is to do

sudo apt-get install  libglew-dev libcheese7 libcheese-gtk23
libclutter-gst-2.0-0 libcogl15 libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 libclutter-1.0-0
 xserver-xorg-input-all
