<div dir="ltr">Hi I'm a Haskell newbie. I just installed Haskell on Windows 7 x64 (Haskell Platform 2013.2.0.0 containing GHC 7.6.3), and have been using cabal-install to build/install from Hackage all the "helper executables" required and/or supported by EclipseFP, the Eclipse Haskell Plugin. <div>
<br></div><div>All the helper exe's installed without any issues, except for one: scion-browser 0.2.18. All its dependencies seemed to build fine, and it built fine up until the near the end of the link phase when the link to Persistent-sqlite 1.2.1 failed. Here is the error message (path information elided):</div>
