Resolving dependencies... Configuring ncurses-0.2.7... cabal: Missing dependencies on foreign libraries: * Missing C libraries: panelw, ncursesw This problem can usually be solved by installing the system packages that provide these libraries (you may need the "-dev" versions). If the libraries are already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where they are. Failed to install ncurses-0.2.7 cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: ncurses-0.2.7 failed during the configure step. The exception was: ExitFailure 1 nyan-0.1 depends on ncurses-0.2.7 which failed to install.
