Installing taffybar on Arch Linux

pretty much as the title says, I'm trying to install taffybar on my machine. Because Arch-Haskell is giving me a lot of trouble because of outdated packages, I am trying to install with cabal; Now, a lot of the packages taffybar depends on I already installed with pacman, but that seems fine. Here is the output of cabal install taffybar:

[thinkredstone@RedGraphite ~]$ cabal install taffybar
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring gio-0.13.3.1...
Failed to install gio-0.13.3.1

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:

gtk-traymanager-0.1.6 depends on gio-0.13.3.1 which failed to install.
taffybar-0.4.6 depends on gio-0.13.3.1 which failed to install.

as you can see, cabal cannot install haskell-gio because of an error I cannot say I fully understand. I also cannot install haskell-gio's AUR, when I try I get

==> Starting build()...
Setup: <command line>: can't load .so/.DLL for: libHSprimitive-0.6.2.0-4578caNkWQ54Gt1mxLF2Yh.so (libHSprimitive-0.6.2.0-4578caNkWQ54Gt1mxLF2Yh.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

even though haskell-primitive is installed and updated. Any help / ideas will be very appreciated.

Re: Installing taffybar on Arch Linux

I believe that this is the same issue, does the solution in the linked wiki article help?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: Installing taffybar on Arch Linux

No, it all comes back to gio failing to install both through cabal and through the AUR package (just purged all my haskell-related packages and tried again)
