I tried to install the gtk haskell on my mac. I used this site to install it. However I failed at the last step with the command: sudo cabal install --with-gcc=gcc-4.8 gtk
the terminal answer is:
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: Could not resolve dependencies:

gtk-0.11.1, gtk-0.11.0 (conflict: requires pkg-config package gtk+-2.0-any,
not found in the pkg-config database)
Dependency tree exhaustively searched.
Cabal should be up-to-date.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: After doing ErikR recipe, it started to install with the command cabal install gtk. This is the error message, I got:

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
gtk-0.14.5 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
The problem is that pkg-config cannot find the file gtk+-2.0.pc:
requires pkg-config package gtk+-2.0-any, not found in the pkg-config database
Steps to troublshoot:
Check which directories pkg-config is configured to look for .pc files with:
$ pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config
On my system, gtk+-2.0.pc resides in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig. I extended the search path by setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:
Test that pkg-config can find gtk+-2.0:
pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --exists && echo Found the library
No output means the .pc file was not found. Another command you can use for checking is:
pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --libs --print-errors
You'll either see an error message or a long list of flags for the C compiler which tells it how to link with the gtk libraries.
Another tip for finding the .pc file is to use the locate command (assuming the locate database has been updated):
locate '*.pc' | grep gtk
