zlib build error with GHC

Question

I\'m using a VM with the following configuration:

• Arch Linux (3.0-ARCH kernel)
• GHC 7.0.3
• cabal-install 0.10.2
• Cabal library 1.10.1.0

Answer 1

On Ubuntu, I fixed (or really, avoided) a similar error with

sudo apt-get install libghc-zlib-dev  libghc-zlib-bindings-dev

(I don't know if both are needed.)
