I am working my way through the book real world haskell, this far I always found a way to adapt the code snippets to make them run but this time I am stuck.
I have to install the gtk and glade bindings in order to run the GUI example in chapter 23.
This is what I have done:
~/prog/Haskell/realWorldHaskell/chapter23 $ cabal sanbox init
~/prog/Haskell/realWorldHaskell/chapter23 $ cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools
~/prog/Haskell/realWorldHaskell/chapter23 $ cabal install gtk
which worked, but when I did:
~/prog/Haskell/realWorldHaskell/chapter23 $ cabal install glade
I get:

I am doing anything wrong? I am quite new to haskell and cabal (and to programing in general)
I am using ghc 7.6.3 and cabal 1.22.3.0
