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. cabal: Leaving directory '/tmp/cabal-tmp-4623/ncurses-0.2.8' cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: ncurses-0.2.8 failed during the configure step.
