Grab the gtk-dev libraries (a brief glance at packages.ubuntu.com  
suggests you'll need at least libgtk2.0-dev, libglib2.0-dev, and  
libcairo2-dev, dunno if you need any others) from your package  
manager, then in a terminal type

cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools
cabal install taffybar

and you should be done.
