+Hey, so I am trying to compile git-annex through cabal but it fails on building uuid. It gives me this strange error:
+
+ Resolving dependencies...
+ Configuring uuid-1.3.1...
+ Building uuid-1.3.1...
+ Preprocessing library uuid-1.3.1...
+ [ 1 of 10] Compiling Data.UUID.Builder ( Data/UUID/Builder.hs, dist/build/Data/UUID/Builder.o )

+ git-annex-4.20131002 depends on uuid-1.3.1 which failed to install.
+ uuid-1.3.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was:

+Any advice on how to proceed?
