Bluetile installation fails

Hello everybody,

I want to test out Bluetile on my Arch machine, but I am running into errors when trying to install it using cabal. I followed the instructions on the Bluetile wiki page. Here is what I did:

First I successfully installed the listed dependencies:

# pacman -S ghc cabal-install gtk2hs-buildtools xmonad-contrib

Then I updated cabal using the following command. It terminated without errors.

# cabal update

Then I tried to install Bluetile, but it failed:

# cabal install bluetile

The output of the install command looked like follows:

gtk-0.12.5.7 depends on cairo-0.12.5.3 which failed to install.
pango-0.12.5.3 depends on cairo-0.12.5.3 which failed to install.

What I understand is that there were compile errors when building the packages cairo-0.12.5.3 and glib-0.12.5.4. The log files mentioned in the output are empty. This was the first time I tried to install something using cabal. Therefore I don't know where to start to solve this issue. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you in advance
