You need the native development libraries for all the listed  
libraries.  On Linux a first cut is to check for (rpm or apt as  
appropriate) packages named (something)-dev or (something)-devel, e.g.  
glade-dev.  (Some of them will be versioned, for example gconf2- 
devel.)  The Haskell libraries are wrappers for the native libraries.

On OSX there's the additional complication that there are both native  
(new, not well tested, not very complete) and X11 (uglier but well  
tested) versions of many of these, and the two don't mix.
