[Haskell-cafe] installing GSL packages on Windows

[Sean Matthews]

I'm  currently  trying to  install  the  gsl packages  (in  particular
hmatrix-gsl) for a Windows 7/32 system.

I've been using a fairly stripped down version of the GHC for a while,
but now that I'm trying to install packages like this, I'm running
into problems.

Anyway, I have installed pkg-config, etc. and I believe I've got the
various bits of gsl installed.  However cabal is still failing at
attaching this to the appropriate haskell modules, at what looks to be
very near the end, and suggstions for what I can try to get things to
finish would be welcome.  Below is the output as generated by cabal
(this is the result of several iterations and systematic googling, but
google seems to have run out on me).

All suggestions, advice, etc. very welcome,

Sean Matthews
