   1 == DEPENDENCIES ==
   2 === HARPY ===
   3         $ cabal install harpy
   4
   5 === HS-JAVA ===
   6 for `hs-java' a patched build is needed:
   7         $ git clone git://wien.tomnetworks.com/hs-java.git
   8         $ cd hs-java
   9         $ git checkout -t origin/v0.2
  10         $ cabal configure; cabal build; cabal install
  11 hint: for some unknown reason yet, it seems building from source will be easier
  12 if you first install `hs-java' via cabal (like `harpy' above)
  13
  14 === CONTROL-MONAD-FAILURE ===
  15 we had some issues with building this package (it's a dependency of `hs-java').
  16 If you also encounter problems like this:
  17 > [3 of 4] Compiling Control.Monad.Exception.Base ( Control/Monad/Exception/Base.hs, dist/build/Control/Monad/Exception/Base.o )
  18 >
  19 > Control/Monad/Exception/Base.hs:117:60:
  20 >     Not in scope: type constructor or class `WrapFailure'
  21 >
  22 > Control/Monad/Exception/Base.hs:118:2:
  23 >     `wrapFailure' is not a (visible) method of class `WrapFailure'
  24
  25 then try
  26         $ cabal install cabal-install
  27         $ export PATH=~/.cabal/bin:$PATH
  28 after that, try again your previous step (e.g. `cabal install hs-java')

  32 == NOTE ==
  33 unfortunately, many haskell libaries arn't tested very well, so building
  34 libraries from hackage can be a very painful trip.
  35
  36 a system configuration we had success building all required
  37 libraries (yes, no x86_64 so far!):
