 === HS-JAVA ===
 for `hs-java' a patched build is needed:
        $ git clone git://wien.tomnetworks.com/hs-java.git
-       $ git checkout v0.2
-       $ cd hs-java; cabal configure; cabal build; cabal install
+       $ cd hs-java
+       $ git checkout -t origin/v0.2
+       $ cabal configure; cabal build; cabal install
+hint: for some unknown reason yet, it seems building from source will be easier
+if you first install `hs-java' via cabal (like `harpy' above)
+
+=== CONTROL-MONAD-FAILURE ===
+we had some issues with building this package (it's a dependency of `hs-java').
+If you also encounter problems like this:
+> [3 of 4] Compiling Control.Monad.Exception.Base ( Control/Monad/Exception/Base.hs, dist/build/Control/Monad/Exception/Base.o )
+>
+> Control/Monad/Exception/Base.hs:117:60:
+>     Not in scope: type constructor or class `WrapFailure'
+>
+> Control/Monad/Exception/Base.hs:118:2:
+>     `wrapFailure' is not a (visible) method of class `WrapFailure'
+
+then try
+       $ cabal install cabal-install
+       $ export PATH=~/.cabal/bin:$PATH
+after that, try again your previous step (e.g. `cabal install hs-java')
+
